I have a typical Jewish reaction–it’s an old joke, you told it wrong, and I have a better version.
In mine the guy doesn’t say, “Something has come up.” He tells her, “I know I promised to come for dinner Friday night but there’s this woman I really like and I got a date with her then.” And his mother says, “Maybe next week, then. I hope your date goes well.”
