Moishe Rabinowitz in the late 1930's fled his native land of
Germany. He sold all his assets and converted them to gold and then
had 5 sets of solid gold false teeth made.
When he arrived in New York , the customs official was perplexed as to
why anybody would have 5 sets of gold teeth. So Moishe explained. "We
Orthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes for meat products and
dairy products, but I am so kosher and religious I also have separate
sets of teeth."
The customs official shook his head and said, "Well that accounts for
two sets of teeth. What about the other three?"
Moishe then said "Vell, us very religious Orthodox Jews use
separate dishes for Passover, but I am so religious I have separate
teeth, one for meat and one for dairy food.
The customs official slapped his head and then said, "You must be
a very religious man with separate teeth for food and dairy products
and likewise for Passover. That accounts for four sets of teeth.
What about the fifth set?"
"Vell, to tell you the truth, once in a while I like a ham sandvich."
