The New Jew at the Law Firm

Elliot Cohen was a very smart young man. After graduating top of his class at Columbia, he finished number one in his law school class at Harvard. With such sterling credentials, he applied for positions at only the best firms in the city. One of them, Sterling Forsythe & Blackburn, was the most notoriously WASPy law firm in town. In the hundred years they'd been in business, they'd never had a Jew on staff. But, the politically correct climate being what it was, they decided it was time they hired somebody Jewish, and certainly they couldn't do better than Elliot.

They called Elliot for an interview in their offices and all the partners were very impressed with him, so they decide to take him to lunch at the "21". While there, the partners meet up with some very important clients, who just happen to be the chairmen of the boards of some very big companies.

The men are all talking with each other but nobody is paying attention to Elliot. He can't even get a word in edgewise. Finally, he gets up and goes to the men's room. They don't even notice he's left the table.

While he's in the bathroom, who does Elliot bump into but the President of the United States! One thing about Elliot...he has a lot of chutzpah. He politely asks the President if he'll do him a big favor. He tells him the story of how these big machers* are ignoring him and asks if the President will just stop off at his table, pat him on the back and say "Hi, Cohen...How are you doing? Good to see you again."

The President generously agrees.

So, Elliot goes back to the table and sits down. Things are still the same. Nobody is paying attention to him. Ten minutes later, the President walks over to the table, steps over to Elliot, pats him on the back and says "Hey, Cohen...How are you doing? Good to see you!"

Elliot turns around to the President and says "Get lost! Can't you see I'm with some important people!"
