As retold by Bruce Lowitt

The Goldbergs, an old tailor and his wife, win forty million dollars in the lottery and immediately change their lifestyle. They buy cars, jewelry, the best clothes and a mansion in the wealthiest part of town.

But they want to do it up right, so they fly to London, hire the best British butler they can find, and return to the States with him.

The next morning they tell him to set the dining room for four, that the Cohens have been invited for dinner. When they get home that night they find the table set for eight.

"What's this?" Sarah Goldberg says. "I told you to set it for four."

"Yes, madame," the butler says, "but the Cohens called. They said they're bringing the bagels and the bialys."
