O'Brien kept nudging Cohen to let him play at his Jewish Country Club.
Cohen told him that only Jews could play golf there.
He drove him crazy for months and he finally gave in but warned him
that if anyone asked, his name was Goldberg. If asked what his
occupation was, he was a manufacturer. O'Brien asked what kind of a
manufacturer should he be and he told him to say that he made tallis.
Sure enough, after playing 18 holes, he's approached by one of the
members. He said that he hadn't seen him before and asked his name.
He replied, "My name is Goldberg."
"What do you do for a living, Mr. Goldberg?"
He replies, "I'm a manufacturer."
"What do you manufacture?"
"I make tallises."
"You know, I always wanted to know what the Hebrew letters on the neck
of the tallis meant. Can you tell me?"
O'Brien said, "to tell the truth, I only make the sleeves".
