A British Jew is waiting in line to be knighted by the Queen. He is to kneel in front of her and recite a
sentence in Latin when she taps him on the shoulders with her sword. However, when his turn comes, he panics
in the excitement of the moment and forgets the Latin. Then, thinking fast, he
recites the only other sentence he knows in a foreign language, which he remembers from the Passover seder:

"Ma nishtana ha layla ha zeh mi kol ha laylot."

Puzzled, Her Majesty turns to her advisor and whispers, "Why is this knight different from all other
knights?"

 

A chuckle from the maybe 8% who will get this.

 

Had to look it up, but I suppose it would be humourous if you knew the meaning


To those of us who are less enlightened, "Ma nishtana ha layla ha zeh mi kol ha laylot" translates to "why is this night different from all the other nights".

 

Now I need a Hagaddah for the board?

 

Ah, a little Passover humor.
Now all we need is Charlton Heston to drop by.

 

It's a great joke if you can understand it!!

 

As Sergeant Matzoh would say..."If you know the secret word....just passover"

 

I think 8% is high.

Good joke though.
