Sol visits Abe and sees a dog in the house. “So what kind of dog is this?” asks Sol.
“It’s a Jewish dog. His name is Irving,” says Abe.
“Watch this,” continues Abe as he points to the dog.
“Irving, Fetch!”
Irving walks slowly to the door, then turns around and says, “So why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I’m nothing. And then you make me sleep on the floor, with my arthritis… You give me this fahkahkta food with all the salt and fat, and you tell me it’s a special diet… It tastes like dreck! YOU should eat it yourself!… And do you ever take me for a decent walk? NO, it’s out of the house, a short piss, and right back home. Maybe if I could stretch out a little, the sciatica wouldn’t kill me so much!”
Sol, amazed, tells Abe how remarkable this is, to which Abe answers,
“I don’t know, I think Irving has a hearing problem. I said fetch, and he thought I said kvetch.”
