Freda and Kitty had been chatting for some time.
After a while, Kitty said, “I’ve got to rush, Freda, I’m off to a
stone setting”
Freda replied, “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Where are you going,
Bushey?”
“No”, said Kitty, “Hatton Garden.”

Not many people outside the UK will get that joke!

(Bushey, part of Watford, a suburban town NW of London , has a Jewish
cemetery. Hatton Garden is a central London area well-know for diamond
merchants and other jewellery shops.)

I had never heard of Hatton Garden

but somehow the meaning of the joke was rather obvious

Well, this newsgroup seems to be mostly populated by people of good
intelligence, so that probably explains it. Except for the ones who keep
posting links to videos/You Tube.

I consulted Tiger Woods on how to respond, and he told me not to say
anything.
I consulted David Letterman on how to respond, and he told me to admit
everything and make some jokes about it.
I consulted Sarah Palin on how to respond, and she said it is all about
having the will to win the war in EYE-raq, proving that global warming is
not happening and spending too much for education funding.
I consulted George W. Bush on how to respond, and he said I should
disassemble. "You, know, disassemble -- not tell the truth."

And I consulted the ghost of Lenny Bruce, who told me to tell "philo" to
perform a physically impossible act unless he or she is a hermaphrodite.
