A
Pole, and Italian, and a Jew, all first-time fathers, are pacing nervously in
the maternity ward waiting room when a nurse rushes out of the delivery room
holding a black baby. "Is it yours?" she asks the Italian.
"Certainly
not," he retorts.
"Yours?"
she asks the Pole, who vigorously denies paternity.
"How
about you?" she asks the Jew.
"Maybe,"
he says glumly. "My wife burns everything."
