A joke Rudy Kiesler might have told
- A rabbi, walking down the street in NY, sees a sign.
- Moishe Teitelbaum Chinese Laundry.
- Puzzled, he goes inside. An old Chinese man stands behind the counter.
- "Do you own this laundry?" the rabbi asks. Yes.
- "And your name is Moishe Teitelbaum?" Yes.
- "If you don't mind my asking, how did you come by such a name?"
- "When I came through Ellis Island, the man before me said his name was Moishe Teitelbaum.
- "When my turn came, the man asked my name and I said Sam Ting."
- Rudy Kiesler was my grandfather. He came from the Old Country.
- This joke first appeared on Scripting News in 2000.
