As retold by Bruce Lowitt


Abe and Sol meet on a street in Miami Beach.

"I moved," Sol says.

"You moved?"

"Yeah. I bought a condo. You'll visit?"

"Sure."
"Okay, here's what you do. I'm at 12274 Collins Avenue. When you get to the front of the building, with your left elbow you'll push open the door. The elevator is to the left of the lobby. With your right elbow, push the button. I'm on the 11th floor, so when the elevator gets there, with your nose you push the button for 11. My apartment is 11G, so when you get to my
door, with your right knee you'll bang on ."

"Wait a second. Wait a second!. What's with the knee and the elbow and the nose and the zetz?"

And Sol says: "What, you're coming empty-handed?"
