A Prayer for Sid Klein
A nearsighted rabbi glanced at the note that Mrs. Klein had sent to him by an
usher.
The note read: "Sid Klein having gone to sea, his wife desires the prayers of
the congregation for his safety."
Failing to observe the punctuation, he startled his audience by announcing:
"Sid Klein, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation
for his safety."
