    Mendal Katz and Yossi Reichman, two very religious Rabbis, visited
    Marcus Pincus the tailor to have two new black suits made. When
    they pick up the suits, Mendal looked at his suit very carefully, held
    it up to the light, walked over to the window and examined it more
    carefully, and then proclaimed, "Marcus, this suit is navy blue. It's
    not black!"

    "Trust me" said Marcus, "it's black!"

    "Yossi, what do you think? Blue or black?" Asked Mendal. "To tell
    you the truth," said Yossi, "I couldn't really tell you from this light,
    if it's blue or black."

    They left wearing their new suits, which cost them $500 each, in
    total doubt and pain.

    While walking down the street they kept examining each other's suit
    to see if it was blue or black.

    Then they spotted two nuns, standing on the corner and decided to go
    stand next to them. They knew the nuns' habits would be black and this
    way they could be sure.

    Well, later that afternoon, the two nuns returned to the convent and
    visited with the Mother Superior to discuss their day in the city.

    "A very strange thing occurred," reported one of the nuns. "Two
    Jewish men approached us on the street and they were speaking Latin!"

    "Latin?" exclaimed Mother Superior. "Jewish men don't speak Latin,
    they speak Hebrew!"

    "No," said the other nun. "It was definitely Latin!"

    "Well, what did they say exactly?" asked the Mother Superior.

    "I'm not really sure," said one of the nuns. They just kept repeating
    the same Latin phrase, "Marcus Pincus Fuctus!"

    Ted: That's right, Dougal. You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.

    Dougal: That's true. I thought my uncle Tommy was wearing black socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.

    Ted:: Never buy black socks from a normal shop. (whispers) They shaft you every time!
