(#268) The dinner guest
Maurice and Sadie invited Nigel, their
gentile neighbour for a Passover dinner. The first course was served and
Sadie said to Nigel, “This is matzoh ball soup.”

in the soup, he was hesitant to taste this strange looking brew. But Maurice
gently persuaded him to try it. “Just have a taste. If you don’t like it,
you don’t have to finish it, honestly.”
So Nigel has a taste. He digs his spoon
in and picks up a small piece of matzoh ball with some soup. He tastes
it gingerly and finds he likes it very much. Quickly he finishes his plate.
“That was delicious”, says Nigel. “Can
you eat any other part of the matzoh?”

Bernard returns home, and Sarah says –
"Nu, vos zogt der doktor?"  ["So? 
What did the doctor say?"]
"Der doktor zogt az ich hob a flucky." 
["The doctor says I have a flucky."]
"Oy, gevalt!  A flucky!  Terrible! 
What do you do for a flucky?"
"I don't know -- he didn't say, and I
forgot to ask."
Well, by this time Sarah is in a state
of high anxiety.  She tells her neighbours "My Bernard was hit by
a car, and now he has a flucky!  I don't know what to do!"
Neighbour #1 says, "In the old country,
when someone had a flucky, we always applied cold.  Cold is the best
thing for a flucky."
Neighbour #2 says, "What are you talking
about?  Cold is absolutely the worst thing you could do for a flucky!
We always applied heat, that's the only thing to do for a flucky."
Cold, heat!  Oy!  Now thoroughly
agitated, Sarah decides to call the doctor herself.  "Doctor, please
tell me, what's wrong with my husband?"
"I told him... nothing's wrong. 
He got off lucky."
