Food Joke

Relationships Moishe and his wife Sadie are having dinner at an upmarket restaurant in Golders Green when an attractive young redhead walks by, smiles at Moishe and says, "Hello Moishe." Sadie immediately asks, "And who was that girl who just spoke to you?" Moishe replies, "Oh her, that`s my mistress." "You have a mistress? I don’t believe you. How long has this been going on?" says Sadie. "About ten years, on and off." answers Moishe. "Ten years?", says Sadie. "You bastard! I`ll see a solicitor tomorrow and start divorce proceedings. I’ll ruin you, you wait and see." "Now hold on Sadie," responds Moishe, "just think about it for a minute. If we get a divorce, you will only get only half of what we have together now. You won`t have our big house in Hampstead, you’ll no longer get a new Lexus as your birthday present from me each year, you won`t be able to play golf all day with your friends, you won’t …." But before Moishe can continue, a blonde walks past and says to him, "Hello, nice to see you again." Sadie asks, "And who was that, another of your ‘girls’?" Moishe replies, "No, that`s Hyme’s mistress." "You mean that Hyme also has a mistress?" says Sadie, surprised. Moishe answers, "Of course, she’s been with him for nearly twelve years." Sadie then says, proudly, "I like ours a lot better."
