Three prison inmates were locked in the same cell; they soon began talking.
“What are you here for?” asked one inmate of another. “They put me in for
beating up some old Jew named Khaimovich,” snarled one man. “And why are you
here?” asked the second of the first. “For having defended some old Jew named
Khaimovich in a fight,” he replied. “And what were you arrested for?” the third
inmate was asked. “For being Khaimovich,” he sighed.
