Marrying a Gentile

A whole gaggle of Jewish ladies at a party were discussing the problem of one of their daughters, who looked very much as though she were planning to marry a Gentile boy. Everyone was disturbed about it, and I could not help interrupting.

- Why not? - said I. Let her marry a Gentile boy. I'm all in favor of Jewish girls marrying Gentile boys.

- Why? - chorused the women.

And I said:

- Because why should the Jewish boys have all the bad luck?
