(Jewish Group) I have to kvetch. A Joke.

[Behind the Aegis]

(I am currently listening to a book on the history of certain words, especially unusual ones. The other day "kvetch" was one of those words. Of course, I already knew what it meant and where it derived from, from German and Hebrew. The author then told a joke, which made me laugh, so I thought I'd share.)

Shlomo, an elderly Jewish man, called his doctor into his room and told him he wanted to transfer hospitals.

Doctor: I hear you want to leave the hospital. Is there a problem with the food?

Shlomo: The food is fine; I can't kvetch.

Doctor: Is there a problem with the room?

Shlomo: The room is just fine; I can't kvetch.

Doctor: Is it the staff?

Shlomo: No, no, the staff is fine; I can't kvetch.

Doctor: Then I don't understand. Why do you want to leave the hospital?

Shlomo: I can't kvetch!
