[Music] No [Music] they tell a story about a Jewish couple living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan a studio apartment two one-bedroom and her brother moves in on them I don't know if you ever had a brother move in on you but this was a particular he stays one day two days one week two weeks Biffle azocheer how much can you tolerate it so after awhile subtly the sister and the brother-in-law try to intimate to this young man that it's time to leave but he does not get the message what do they do so they come up with a brilliant plan Cavalli created by a Yiddish a cop what's the plan he tells his wife you know tonight when you serve me dinner you'll serve soup and I'll take one spoon of the soup I'll taste it and I'll tell you honey the soup is too salty and you will argue with me you will maintain that the soup is not too salty and we'll get into this fake argument and from the fake argument we'll get into the fake conflict and then we'll ask your brother what is his opinion about the soup and whoever he agrees with the other one will throw him out of the house somehow if he throw him out of the house because of a debate over whether the soup was too salty or not it can be justified great dinner time comes the wife serves a bowl of soup to her husband he tastes the soup honey usually Iran but tonight the soup is horrible disgusting abominable and she's like darling the soup is impeccable
