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.."
У мужика, приехавшего по делам в Одессу, сломались часы. Вдруг он увидел витрину с нарисованным на ней хронометром, дай, думаю, зайду починю.
Заходит внутрь, за прилавком стоит раввин. Диалог:
- Скажите, Вы можете починить мои часы?
- Нет, мы здесь часы не чиним, мы делаем обрезание!
- Не понял, а почему тогда на витрине вашей лавки нарисованы часы?
- А что бы Вы хотели, увидеть на ней нарисованным?

Районы я там не помню, но есть такая улица Гирибасовкая (Geary). Идёшь там, навстречу еврейские бабушки дорогу переходят - в гастроном спешат. Это в районе с 25 по 32-ю улицы примерно.
Оно вроде и ни что-либо как, а приведись такое дело так вот тебе и пожалуйста.
