I dont remember where the post was of someone having problems getting their wives paperwork straightened out a few months back, but saw this and had to post it here!
My little brother posted it on another site the 2 of us visit.



Jewish Laundry

Walking through San Francisco's Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was
enjoying the artistry of all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and
banners when he turned a corner and saw a building with the sign \"Moshe
Plotnik's Laundry.\"

\"Moshe Plotnik?\" he wondered. \"How does that belong in Chinatown?\" He walked
into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking dry cleaner, although he
could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the
store name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned
with the logo \"Moshe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry.\"
The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to
his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who
thanked him for his purchase.



The tourist asked, \"Can you explain how this place got a name like 'Moshe
Plotnik's Laundry?'

The old man answered, \"Ah...Evleebody ask me that . It name of owner.\"


Looking around, the tourist asked, \"Is he here?\"


\"It me,\" replies the old man.


\"Really? You're Chinese. How did you ever get a name like Moshe Plotnik?\"


\"Is simple\", said the old man. \"Many, many year ago I come to this country.
I standing in line at 'Documentation Center of Immigration.' Man in front of
me was Jewish man from Poland. Lady at counter look at him and say, \"What
your name?\"


He say, \"Moshe Plotnik.\"

Then she look at me and say, \"What's your name?\"


I say, \"Sam Ting.\"
