The typical Jewish mother confronted with her daughter's sudden elopement:

Rosie telephones her house with some breathtaking news:
"Mama, I got married."
"Mazel Tov!"
"I might as well tell you, he's a goy."
"So he's a goy! I'm prejudiced?"
"But, Mama, he's also a Negro."
"All right, he's a schvartzeh (yiddish for negro).
 By me everybody should be tolerant."
"Well, frankly, Mama, he's unemployed."
"Nu, so you'll support him. A wife, she should help her husband."
"But, Mama, we have no place to live."
"Don't worry, Rosie darling. You'll stay right here in our house."
"But you only have one bedroom."
That's all right. You and your new husband can sleep in the bedroom and
 Papa can sleep on the sofa in the living room."
"Yes, but, Mama, where will you sleep?"
"Rosie dear, about me you got nothing to worry. The minute I'm hanging up
I'll drop dead!"
