Goldie Cohen,
an elderly Jewish lady from New York, goes to her travel agent. "I vont
to go to India."
"Mrs. Cohen, why India? It's filthy, much hotter than New York, it's
filled to the brim with Indians."
"I vont to go to India."
"But it's a long journey, and those trains, how will you manage? What
will you eat? The food is too hot and spicy for you. You can't drink
the water. You must not eat fresh fruit and vegetables. You'll get
sick: the plague, hepatitis, cholera, typhoid, malaria, G-d only knows.
What will you do? Can you imagine the hospital, no Jewish doctors? Why
torture yourself?"
"I vont to go to India."
The necessary arrangements are made, and off she goes. She arrives in
India and, undeterred by the noise, smell and crowds, makes her way to
an ashram. There she joins the seemingly never-ending queue of people
waiting for an audience with the guru. An aide tells her that it will
take at least three days of standing in line to see the guru. "Dats OK."
Eventually she reaches the hallowed portals. There she is told firmly
that she can only say three words. "Fine."
She is ushered into the inner sanctum where the wise guru is seated,
ready to bestow spiritual blessings upon eager initiates. Just before
she reaches the holy of holies she is once again reminded: "Remember,
just three words."
Unlike the other devotees, she does not prostate at his feet. She
stands directly in front of him, crosses her arms over her chest, fixes
her gaze on his, and says: "Sheldon, come home."
