Hymie is sitting on a bench with his friend Monty. Neither has spoken for 10 minutes when Hymie suddenly says, ‘Do you know what, Monty?’
‘No, what Hymie?’
‘Mine Rivka,’ continues Hymie, ‘is very knowledgeable. She reads The Times newspaper every day from front to back; she watches the news on TV every hour; she reads all kinds of books and she regularly goes to evening classes. She is so up-to-date about current affairs that she can talk all night on any subject.’
‘So what?’ says Monty, ‘Mine Sadie doesn’t need a subject!’
