A Jewish man was waiting in line to be knighted by the Queen of England. He was supposed to kneel and recite a sentence in Latin. Comes his turn, he kneels, the Queen taps him on the shoulders with the sword … and in the panic of excitement he forgets the Latin line. Thinking quickly, he recites the only other line he knows in a foreign language which he remembers from the Passover Seder:

“Mah nishtana ha-lailah ha-zeh mi-kol ha-leilot.”

The puzzled Queen turns to her adviser and asks,

“Why is this knight different from all other knights?”
