[Must be told with a Yiddish accent.]

Two retired businessmen are paddling in the surf off Miami Beach, when
one is suddenly siezed by a stomach cramp.  He cries out to his
companion, "Marvin!  Help me, I'm drowning!"

"Hold on, Irving, I'm coming!," his partner calls back.  He grasps the
struggling man in a cross-chest carry, and pulls him back to shallow
water.  "You're OK, now, Irving," he says.  "Can you float alone?"

"Marvin, this is no time to talk business!," he shouts back.
