Blintzes

An impoverished Jew in an Eastern European village one day asked his wife to make him blintzes.



Wife: "Only rich people can afford to make blintzes."



Husband: "What can't we afford?"



Wife: "Eggs."



Husband: "I'll have my blintzes without eggs."



Wife: "We can't afford the cottage cheese."



Husband: "Leave out the cottage cheese."



Wife: "We can't afford the raisins."



Husband: "I don't need raisins in my blintzes."



The wife makes the blintzes without eggs, cottage cheese, or raisins.



The husband takes two bites and says, "You know, I don't see what rich people see in blintzes."
