Discreet Mensch

Six retired Floridians were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead At the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing standing up.

Finkelstein looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna' tell the wife?"
"I'll do it," said Goldberg.
"Be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse," said Finkelstein.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet mensch you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me," claims Goldberg.

Goldberg goes over to the Meyerwitz apartment, knocks on the door.
The wife answers and asks what he wants.
Goldberg declares, "Your husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come home."
"TELL HIM HE SHOULD DROP DEAD!" she yells.
"I'll go tell him," says Goldberg.
