Four rabbis met for lunch at a Brooklyn deli. In an effort to show them proper respect, the owner of the deli personally served them. After they finished their sandwiches, he brought them slices of watermelon. As soon as he walked away from their table, he realized that he had made a terrible mistake. The watermelon that he served them was spiked with liquor and was intended for another table. He feared the worst. As soon as the waiter returned to the kitchen with the empty plates, the owner asked “What did they say? What did they say?” “Nothing,” the waiter responded, “they were too busy searching for watermelon seeds and putting them in their pockets.”
