Sent to Sammy by Mel in 1997

A Jewish man was waiting to be knighted by the Queen of England. He was supposed to kneel and recite a sentence in Latin. Comes his turn, he kneels, the Queen taps him on the shoulders with the sword...and in the panic of excitement he forgets the Latin line. Thinking quickly, he recites 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 her advisors and asks, "Why is this knight different from all other knights?"
