A Jecke asks his Romanian friend: “What’s actually the difference between a Jecke and a Romanian?”
“I’ll show you,” replies the Romanian. He takes him to Cohen the Jecke’s grocery store and asks for a box of matches.
The Romanian opens the box and says to Cohen: “ I need matches with the head on the left.”
Cohen answers: “Sorry, I don’t have any of those.”
The pair cross the street to a Romanian’s grocery and repeat their request.

“So now you see the difference?” The Romanian asks.

Oppenheimer, the owner of the Penguin Café, asks his friend Erich:
“How come you ate today across the street at Pivelman’s? For years you’ve been eating regularly at our place.”
