SMALL DIFFERENCE

A Jewish and Chinese traveling salesman shared a compartment on the train. Suddenly the Jewish salesman got up and slapped the face of his fellow traveler.

“What was that for?” - demanded the flabbergasted Chinese.

“For Pearl Harbor” - replied the other one.

“But I’m Chinese and it was the Japanese who attacked Pearl Harbor.”

“Japanese, Chinese, it makes no difference to me.”

For a while all was quiet, as the two contemplated the incident. Suddenly, the Chinese got up and slapped the other salesman’s face. Now it was the turn of the Jewish salesman to be surprised:

“And what was that for?” - he asked in astonishment.

“That was for sinking the “Titanic,” - was the reply.

“But the Titanic was sunk by an iceberg.”

“Iceberg, Rosenberg, it makes no difference to me.”
