African who knew Yiddish

This story appeared in the Miami Herald
back in the 70’s.

There was an African working at a gas
station owned by Jews, so he learned Yiddish
from them. Back then, unlike today, a non-Jew
knowing Yiddish was very unusual.

Anyway, a Jewish couple, vacationing, came to
the station for service. So, the African filled their
car with gas, and washed the windows. The wife
looked at the car and said to her husband in Yiddish,
“The black pig did a good job.”

They paid him. He said thank you, then hollered in
Yiddish, “AND I’M NOT A BLACK PIG!!!”
