IP: Passover Joke

[Dave Farber <farber () central cis upenn edu>]

Via Luther Welshand Dave Crocker:


Moshe Shapiro, invented a great thing in London.  The British government was
able to use his new computer program and collect taxes they never even knew
existed.  Queen Elizabeth II, decided to put him on the honors list to be
knighted.  He is supposed to recite a line in Latin.  Comes his turn, the
Queen taps him on the shoulders with the sword... and in the panic of
excitement he forgets the Latin line.  Thinking quickly he recited the only
other line he knows in a foreign language which he remembers from the
Passover Seder:  "Mah nishtana ha-lailah ha-zeh mi-kol ha-leilot."  The
puzzled Queen turns to John Major and asks, "Why is this Knight different
from all other Knights?"
