The Mexican Stand Off

Two old Jewish men, Levi and Abe, are sitting in a Mexican restaurant in L.A. Levi asks Abe "Do you know of any people of our faith born and raised in Mexico?"

Abe replies, "I don't know of any, I'll ask our waiter". When the waiter arrives, Abe asks, "Are there any Mexican Jews?"

The waiter says  "I don't know senor; I ask the cooks". He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and says "No, senor; the cook say no Mexican Jews".

Abe isn't satisfied and asks "Are you absolutely sure?"

The waiter replies "I check once again, senor!" He goes back into the kitchen.

While the waiter is away, Levi says "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere".

The waiter returns and says "Senor, the head cook Juan say there is no Mexican Jews".

"Are you certain?" Abe asks again. "I just can't believe there are no Mexican Jews!"

"SENOR, I ask EVERYONE" replies the exasperated waiter. "All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews, and Tomato Jews".
