My neighbor, who happens to be a Architect, told me my foundation could likely support a second story.

or

my sister, who happens to be Jewish , told me a joke;

"How many Jewish wommen does it take to screw in a light bulb?


"Oh, nevermind . .. I'll just sit here in the dark."



Ah, yes; that last example surely started making some people nervous. . . some laugh.
