Food Swapping

A Russian and a Jew were travelling on a train. At lunchtime the Jew took out some sardines and the Russian some chicken. They began to eat.

'Tell me,' said the Russian, munching away, 'how is it that all you Jews are so clever?'

'How can I explain it,' replied the Jew.

'Well, take our lunch for example. You're eating chicken and I'm having sardines. Sardines are fish, fish contain phosphorus and phosphorus improves the brain . . .'

The Russian thought for a bit:

'Listen, how about swapping?'

They swapped. The Jew polished off the chicken and the Russian ate the sardines.

'Well, now what?' The Russian began thinking aloud. 'I've eaten the sardines and I'm still hungry.'

'Ah-h-h!' said the Jew. 'You can see that it's working already!'
