A guy is walking around the Lower East Side and he sees a shop with the sign "Moish Abramowitz Chinese Laundry". This is so crazy, he has to check it out. So he walks in, sees a Chinese guy behind the counter and says
"Hi - can I talk to the owner?"
"I'm the owner" the man replies.
"YOU'RE the owner? What's your name?"
"Moish Abramowitz"
"Pardon me for asking, but how did a guy like you get a name like that?"
"Well, you know, I don't really understand it myself, but it happened like this: When I first immigrated to this country, I came in through Ellis Island. There was a long line of us, and when I got up close to the immigration agent, the guy in front of me was named Moish Abramowitz. Then, when he was done, I stepped up and the agent asked me my name, and I said "Sam Ting"."
