The year is 2016 and the United States has elected the first
woman as well as the first Jewish president, Susan Goldfarb.
She calls up her mother a few weeks after election day and
says, "So, Mom, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?"
"I don't think so. It's a ten hour drive, your father isn't as
young as he used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again."
"Don't worry about it Mom, I'll send Air Force One to pick you
up and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door."
"I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy-schmantzy, what on
earth would I wear?"
"Oh Mom" replies Susan, "I'll make sure you have a wonderful
gown custom-made by the best designer in New York ."
"Honey," Mom complains, "you know I can't eat those rich foods
you and your friends like to eat."
The President-to-be responds, "Don't worry Mom. The entire
affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York,
kosher all the way.
Mom, I really want you to come."
Mom reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Goldfarb
is being sworn in as President of the United States. In the
front row sits the new president's mother, who leans over to a
senator sitting next to her.
"You see that woman over there with her hand on the Torah,
becoming President of the United States ?"
The Senator whispers back, "Yes I do."
Says Mom proudly, "Her brother is a doctor."
