Playing poker
Six Jewish gentlemen were playing poker in the condo
clubhouse when Meyerowitz loses $500 on a single hand,
clutches his chest and drops dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five
complete their playing time standing up.
Finkelstein looks around and asks "Now, who is going
to tell the wife?" They draw straws. Goldberg, who is always a loser
picks the short one.
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any
worse than it is.
"Gentlemen! Discreet? I'm the most discreet mensch you
will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me."
Goldberg schleps over to the Meyerowitz apartment, knocks on the
door, the wife answers, asks what he wants.
Goldberg declares "Your husband just lost $500."
She hollers, "TELL HIM HE SHOULD DROP DEAD!"
Goldberg says, "I'll tell him."
