A British Jew is      waiting in line to be knighted by the Queen. He is to kneel in front of her      and recite a sentence in Latin when she taps him on the shoulders with her      sword. However, when his turn comes, he panics in the excitement of the      moment and forgets the Latin. Then, thinking fast, he recites the only other      sentence he knows in a foreign language, which he remembers from the      Passover seder:
    
     "Ma nishtana ha layla ha zeh mi kol ha laylot."
    
     Puzzled, Her Majesty turns to her advisor and whispers, "Why is this knight      different from all other knights?"
