The Rabbi


The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me." The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?" The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?" The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
The man said yes and the Rabbi replied,
"Take the poison."

Missing something?

Maybe that he's better off dead than with her?

I agree Bob. Bill

If you read it with a Yiddish accent, then it makes sense.

What did the man reply to?

Reminds me of the line attributed to Winston Churchill that I read a short while ago. He was arguing with a woman who was not one of his greatest fans. In great disgust she said to Winston: "Mr. Churchill, if you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea." To this Winston calmly replied: "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it."
Guess that ended the argument.

It only works with a Rabbi and you have to grow up Jewish to appreciate it. There's another, similar bit of humor that much funnier when you hear it rather than reading it:

"What's the most expensive whine in the world?"

"I have nothing to wear..."

I agree with Bruce, reading it with the "Yiddish" accent is a must. I am considered an honorary Jew being Catholic and married twice both times to Jewish women. I get it being a gentile. I can see why some here don't.

What did the man reply to?

Just change 'replied' to 'said'

That is a pretty good joke, even without the accent.
