Coworker #1: So I heard Silverman, Bernstein and Shaprio are coming in here tomorrow for a meeting. Are you going to be in on that meeting?
Coworker #2: No, I don't think so. Why?
Coworker #1: Well, they are your people, aren't they? You could just wear your little hat and that would seal the deal. No?
Coworker #2: My people? Huh?
Coworker #1: Yeah, your people. Y'know, they are… crap! What are they? They are Jews, but not. What's that word you Jews use to describe yourselves?
Coworker #2: Jewish?
Coworker #1: No, that's not it. Goy! That's it!
Coworker #2: Umm… that refers to someone who's not Jewish.
Coworker #1: Oh. So you Jews don't have a derogatory slang word you use to refer to yourselves? (pause) Damn!
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
