Jewish Joke of the Week: Room 317
A woman calls the hospital switchboard and asks, “Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me how Mrs. Kaplan in room 317 is doing.”
The operator puts her on hold, checks the records, and returns with enthusiasm. “Mrs. Kaplan in room 317 is doing exceptionally well. Her lab results came back this morning and everything looks normal. The doctor is very pleased with her progress and says she should be able to go home early next week.”
“Oh, that’s such a relief!” the caller says. “You have no idea how happy that makes me.”
The operator chuckles. “You must be a close family member to be this excited.”
“No,” the woman replies calmly. “I’m Mrs. Kaplan in room 317. Nobody tells me anything.”
