A Gentile woman meets an old Gentile friend. The friend asks “How is your son getting along?”
The Gentile woman says, “Oh, he’s just fine. He just turned 35.”
“And where does he live?” asks the friend.
“He lives at home with me. I don’t think he’ll ever get married. Its just so wonderful having him here with me. Cleaning up after him, doing his laundry, and cooking all of his meals makes me feel so good, so fulfilled as a woman. You just can’t believe.”
The other Gentile woman says, “Sounds like a great boy. I‘m so jealous.”

The husband says to the waiter, “I’ll have a steak and a baked potato. My wife will have the Julienne salad with house dressing. We’ll both have coffee.”
The waiter responds, “How would you like your steak and salad prepared?” The man says “I’d like the steak medium. The salad will be fine as is.”
The woman says nothing.
The waiter says: “Thank you.”
