"No big deal," says Dave on losing a
leg. "I still have one good one."
IT'S ONLY BEEN about two
weeks since chef "Duke" Larco and
Sposita's Italian dining in West
Bloomfield had a parting of the ways
... But investors are already courting
the late Nick Larco's son on the possi-
bility of opening his own restaurant in
the northwest area.
GREAT NEWS ... Wayne Newton
has been signed to appear in this area ...
"Mr. Las Vegas" will be at Andiamo
Italia's Celebrity Showroom, 14 Mile
between Mound and Van Dyke,
Thursday and Friday evenings, May 17
and 18.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept. ...
Due to poor weather, Mrs. Rosenberg,
a fine Jewish matron, found herself
stranded late one night at a fashion-
able southern resort ... One that did
not, ordinarily, admit Jews.
When she inquired at the front desk
about a room, the desk clerk looked at
his book and said, "Sorry, no rooms.
This hotel is full."
Suspicious about his mind set, Mrs.
Rosenberg said, "I beg your pardon,
your sign says that you have vacancies"
... The desk clerk stammered and said
curtly, "Mostly, I shouldn't say this,
but you know we do not admit Jews.
Now if you will try, on the other side
of town ...
Mrs. Rosenberg stiffened noticeably,
and said, "I'll have you know that,
recently, I converted to your religion."
Sensing something, the clerk said,
"Oh yeah? Well, let me give you a lit-
tle test. How was Jesus born?"
"That's easy," Mrs. Rosenberg
replied. "He was born to a virgin
named Mary, in a little town called
Bethlehem."
"Not bad," replied the clerk. "Tell
me more."
Checking her memor- y, Mrs.
Rosenberg said, "He was born in a
manger."
"That's right," said the desk clerk.
And why was he born in a manger?"
Holding her head defiantly high,
Mrs. Rosenberg reared back and said
loudly for all to hear, "Because a
dumb jerk like you wouldn't give a
Jewish lady a hotel room for the
night!"
KORN KORNER ... from Bud
Sherbow ... Two boll weevils grew up
in South Carolina ... One went to
Hollywood and became a famous
actor ... The other stayed behind in
the cotton fields and never amounted
to much ... The second one, naturally,
became known as the lesser of two
weevils.H
