After offering congratulations, Golda says to Ruth, "So, Ruthie, do you have any idea vat is this herpes, and can our Irving catch it?"
Ruth answers, "God forbid! But his Papa and I are just so happy to hear about his engagement. You know how ve've all vorried about him. It's past time he's settled vith a nice girl. As far as the herpes goes, who knows?"
"Vell...," Golda says, "I have a very fine medical dictionary, you know, Ruthie. I'll just run home right now and look it up and call you."
So, Golda goes home, looks it up, and calls Ruth excitedly, "Ruth! Ruth! Thank goodness, I found it. Not to vorry! It says herpes is a disease affecting the gentiles."
