Peeps.'

A Jewish doctor makes a great medical discovery for which the
Queen has decided to grant him knighthood. At the ceremony, as
she touches his shoulders with the sword, he is supposed to recite
an ancient Celtic blessing. However, for all his medical genius, the
doctor cannot seem to memorize the required Celtic words. On the
day of his investiture, the nervous doctor waits his turn as several
others are being knighted before him. As he listens to one after
another correctly recite the Celtic blessing, he grows more and
more nervous.

Finally, when he kneels before the Queen of England and she taps
his shoulders with the sword, the good doctor completely forgets
the Celtic words, and substitutes the first foreign words that
pop into his head: "Ma Nishtahnah Ha Lailah Ha Zeh."

The Queen, clearly confused, looked to the gathered crowd, and
says, "Why is this Knight different from all the other Knights?"
