I was just going through the Big Book of Jewish Humor and came across
this one that might, with a little editing, be appropriate in a
Moscow, Idaho, setting.
There was an old man whose third wife had just died. He met a girl
of eighteen and wanted to marry her, but his friends were skeptical.
"Are you sure it's all right?" they asked. "Better go ask the rabbi."
He went to the rabbi and the rabbi said, "Well, it's an unusual
question, but I can't find any reason to say no. But my advice is
that you should also take in a boarder," said the rabbi with a wink.
The man agreed. Several months later he met the rabbi on the street.
"How are you getting along?" asked the rabbi.
"Very well, thank you, Rabbi."
"And how's your young wife?"
"She's pregnant, Rabbi."
"Aha," said the rabbi with a smile. "And how's the boarder?"
"Also pregnant."
