It was cold and flu season. The Rabbi was not happy with the
constant coughing disturbing his sermons so he decided to call on
old Abe to help him solve the problem.
Comes the next Saturday morning, the Rabbi gave old Abe a bowl of
cough drops and instructions to give a cough drop to any
congregation member who was coughing.
So following his Rabbi's orders, every time a member coughed, old
Abe walked over and gave them a cough drop.
The Rabbi noticed that each time he did this, the member then
stood up left the sermon. At the end of the service, half of
the members were gone.
After services the Rabbi calls old Abe at home and asked what he
said to the members that made them leave the hall.
Old Abe says, "So vat did I say ? ... All that I said wuz, 'the Rabbi said for cough!'"
