There were two Jewish women (Ruth and Golda) walking along the street.

Ruth says to Golda, "My son, Irving, is finally getting married. He
tells me he is engaged to a wonderful girl, but... he thinks she may have a
disease called herpes.

Golda, says to Ruth, "Do you have any idea what this herpes
is, and can he catch it?"

Ruth answers, "No, but I am just so thrilled to hear about Irving's
engagement. It's past time he's settled. As far as the herpes goes...who
knows?"

"Well," Golda says, "I have a very fine medical dictionary at home - I'll
look it up and call you," So, Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls
Ruth........

"Ruth, kenahurra, I found it. Not to worry! It says herpes is a disease
of the gentiles!" >>
