TABLE FOR EIGHT?

They decided to hire a butler. They found the perfect butler through an agency, veddy proper and veddy, veddy British, and they brought him back to their home.

The day after his arrival, he was instructed to set up the dining table for four, as they were inviting the Cohens to lunch. The couple then left the house to do some shopping.

When they returned, they found the table set for eight.

Perplexed, they asked the butler why it was set for eight when they had expressly asked him to set it for four.

The butler replied, “The Cohens telephoned and said they were bringing the Blintzes and the Knishes.”
