Left handed tea cup

    Hitler and Goering are arguing about the Jews. Goering says that they are very clever people, but Hitler denies it. Finally, Goering tells Hitler that he'll prove it's true if Hitler is prepared to disguise himself and come shopping with him. Hitler agrees, so they both disguise themselves and go into Berlin. Goering takes Hitler into a shop, goes up to the counter, and asks the German clerk: "Do you sell left-handed teacups?"
    The clerk stares at Goering for a moment, then says, "No, mein Herr, we do not."

    The two leave the shop and Hitler complains that he doesn't understand what Goering is doing. Goering tells him to be patient and takes him into another German shop, where Goering asks the clerk again: "Do you sell left-handed teacups?"

    As before, the clerk stares at him and says: "No, mein Herr, we do not."

    They leave again and now Goering takes Hitler into a Jewish shop. He goes up to the counter and asks the clerk: "Do you sell left-handed teacups?"

    The clerk smiles politely, goes into the back room, makes a show of rummaging around, then brings out a saucer and teacup, sets the saucer down and carefully places the cup with the handle pointed so Goering can pick it with his left hand.

    "There you are, mein Herr!" the clerk says.

    Goering buys the teacup, thanks the clerk, and leaves the shop with Hitler. Once they're outside, he turns to Hitler and says: "See, I told you the Jews were very clever people!"

    "I don't see what was so clever about that," Hitler snaps. "He just happened to have one in stock!"
