At Friday night services, Morris goes to his friend Irving and says,"I need a favour. I'm sleeping with the Rabbi's wife. Can you hold himin synagogue for an hour after services for me?"
Irving is not very fond of the idea, but being Morris'slifelong friend, he reluctantly agrees.After services, he strikes up a conversation with the Rabbi, askinghim all sorts of stupid questions - just to keep him occupied.
After some time the wise Rabbi becomes suspicious and asks, "Irving,
what are you really up to?"Irving, filled with feelings of guilt and remorse confesses to theRabbi, "I'm sorry, Rabbi. My friend is sleeping with your wife right now,
so he asked me to keep you occupied."The Rabbi smiles, puts a brotherly hand on Irving's shoulder, and says,"You better hurry home, Irving. My wife died two years ago!"
Thanks Pat
