CANTOR'S CORNER

Shlomo and Rochel go to their local kosher restaurant and order the “Salmon Special.” When their food arrives, Shlomo and Rochel are not impressed. It doesn’t even look like Salmon. So Shlomo calls over the waiter.
"Waiter," he says, pointing to their plates, "be honest with me, these pieces of fish are from cans, aren't they?"
"From cans, sir?" says the waiter, indignantly. "They're not from cans. They came directly from Alaska."
Rochel pipes up, "But were they exported or deported?"
