As retold by Bruce Lowitt

Stein goes to the rabbi.

"Rabbi, something terrible is happening."

"What's wrong?"

"Becky is trying to kill me."

"What?" the rabbi exclaims. "You're married thirty-seven years. Three children. Seven grandchildren. The two of you have always seemed so happy."

"Rabbi, I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?

"Tell you what - let me talk to her. I'll see what I can find out."

A week later the rabbi calls Stein.

"Well, I spoke to your wife," the rabbi says. "I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice? Take the poison."
