DOROTHY AND ZELDA




Dorothy and Zelda, two "senior" widows, are talking.

Dorothy: "That nice Hymie Cohen asked me out for a date. I know you went out with him last week, and I wanted to talk with you about him before I give him my answer."

Zelda: "Well, I'll tell you. He shows up at my apartment punctually at 7 P.M., dressed like such a Gentleman in a fine suit, and he brings me such beautiful flowers! Then he takes me Downstairs, and what's there but a luxury car... A limousine, uniformed chauffeur and All.

Then he takes me out for dinner... A marvelous dinner... Lobster, champagne, Dessert, and after-dinner drinks. Then we go see a show.

Let me tell you, Dorothy, I enjoyed it so much I could have just died from pleasure! So then we are Coming back to my apartment and he turns into an ANIMAL.

Completely crazy, he Tears off my expensive new dress and has his way with me two times!"

Dorothy: "Goodness gracious!... So you are telling me I shouldn't go out with him?"

Zelda: "No, no, no... I'm just saying, wear a schmata

...nothing, Why, what's schmata with you?

Since I'm not Jewish I had to look it up.....
Schmata Yiddish - Mainly used to describe a cheap, raggedy piece of clothing.
I.E. "Did you see her sweater? What a schmata!"

Sorry, I thought everyone from my age group had heard the word schmata!
I think it is a yiddish expression for a rag piece of clothing as in "I'm going to throw on a schmata to walk the dog"
