The King of Kibbitz strikes again: another Freddie Roman deli joke
Apologies for not posting, but it was a long weekend here in Canada, and I’m in the crunch to finish the book by year’s end. So today I have just a little tidbit for you from our friend Freddie Roman, Dean of the Friar’s Club, and a Borscht Belt legend.
A Texan walks into Barney Greengrass and tells the waiter, “I was on an airplane and the person next to me told me that I had to come here and order bagels and lox. So I’ll have some of them.”
Five minutes later the waiter comes back with a bagel, some cream cheese, and a platter of Nova. The Texan takes one look and says, “Ok. So tell me, which is the lox and which is the bagel?”
Ba Da Ching!
I’ll be here all week.
