Translater
A judge is ready to go through the day's business and he is very rushed. The first case up involves an elderly Jewish gentleman with a long beard, payes, the works.
The judge, without asking a question, says to the clerk, "Get me a translator."
Translator shows up and the judge says, "Ask him what his name is, how old is he and where does he come from?"
The translator says, "Die judge vilt vissen, vos is dein namen, vie alt bist du, and fun vie kumst du?"
The old man smiles, looks at the judge and says in perfect English with a British accent, "Sir. My name is Chiam Ginsburg. I shall be 82 next Thursday and I've come from England where I hold the chair of Hebrew Philosophy at Oxford University."
The translator turns to the judge and says,
"Ehr zukt, ehr is Chiam Ginsburg, ehr is tzwei und achtzig yur alt, und ehr is, mit sach Yiddish philisoph, areingekummen fun Oxford."
