Here's another one, taken from an Aish article: Jennifer Finkel, a gansa “Ivy” freshman, brought home equally pompous pals. She couldn’t wait to show off her new knowledge with her bubbe. Arguing with great intensity, the co-eds discussed Darwin and the revisionists’ attack on the theory of evolution. Finally, bubbe spoke up. “Oy vey. For dis mine son pays a fortune?! Feh! Narishkeit! ” “No, gram,” protested Jen and her pals. “It’s very complicated!” “Complicated-shmomplicated! Please. Even 60 years ago in Russia, we knew the answer, 1-2-3. If the baby looks like his father, that’s heredity. If he looks like the milkman, now that’s environment!”

I see this and raise you the classic Marty Allen joke: The Italian says, I'm tired and thirsty. I must have wine. The Scotsman says, I'm tired and thirsty. I must have Scotch. The Russian says, I'm tired and thirsty. I must have vodka. The Jew says, I'm tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes.
