What Did Jew Say?

(My roommate and I are both in pharmacy school and it’s the middle of finals week, so we are rather brain dead. I am trying to teach him something in Polish, which I speak fluently, but he hadn’t even heard it spoken before he met me. He is mangling the pronunciation and I am laughing at him.)

Roommate: “What?! I don’t speak Jewish!”

Me: “Umm, no… Polish.”

Roommate: “Well, they’re mostly Jewish, anyway.”

Me: “What?”

Roommate: “Oh, wait… That’s the Jews.”

(We both just stared at each other for a moment, processing what had just happened, and then died laughing.)
