Two Jewish sisters-in-law (Ruth and Golda) meet on the
street. Ruth says to Golda, "Such news I got for you,
Golda! My Irving is finally getting married. He tells
me he is engaged to this wonderful Jewish girl,
but he thinks the poor darling may have some strange
illness called herpes."

After offering congratulations, Golda says to Ruth,
"So, Ruthie, do you have any idea what is this herpes,
and can our Irving catch it?"

Ruth answers, "God forbid! But his Papa and I are just
so happy to hear about his engagement. You know how
we've all worried about him. It's past time he's
settled with a nice girl. As far as the herpes goes,
who knows?"

"Well," Golda says, "I have a very fine medical
dictionary, you know, Ruthie. I'll just run home right
now and look it up and call you."

So, Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls Ruth
excitedly, "Ruth! Thank goodness, I found it. Not to
worry! It says herpes is a disease affecting the
gentiles!"

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

"So Irving's fiancee can't really be Jewish!
Oy Vey! It'll kill his father"

It's just a pun on a Jewish word.

I'd be suprised if anybody found it offensive.
