1. You're celebrating Pesach with a cousin named MARY???
Well, times have changed!! Actually, I have a cousin Mary as well, but she's a convert.

So here's my Passover Joke: can only be told once every year:

King Arthur was sitting at the round table interviewing potential knights for his court. He asked his assistant to send in the first one, who happened to be Sir Parsifal. Arthur looked at his golden hair, fair countenance and fine posture, then immediately hired him. The next knight to be sent in was Sir Galahad. He too had beautiful blond hair, light eyes and a straight backbone. Arthur had him filling out the W4 before five minutes into the interview.

Happy with his prospects, he asked the assistant to send in the 3rd applicant. In walks Sir Moishe. Now, Sir Moishe is kind of skinny, with a conclave chest and noodle arms. His hair is dark and frizzy, his eyes brown behind black-rimmed specs, his complexion as pale as a ghost.

Arthur looks at his assistant and asks: "Why is this knight different from all other knights?"

Enjoy your Seder!

2. At our seder last year,
we had a friend celebrate with us. He's blind, but no big deal. We were passing the matzoh around, and he runs his fingers over it and said "Who wrote this shit!"

Gut Pesach.

4. Mary is my Jewish wife's cousin. Mary's mom's name is Yetta, and Mary's
niece is Samara. Yetta, my wife and Samara are 3 generations of honor students (Sam is now a Junior at Temple in Phila in political science, spending next semester in Ghana.)
There were 16 people there, and dinner was just great.
(My wife made the fruit compote.)
I'm the non-Jewish one, one of 3 at the dinner, and the only part indian.
Have a great Seder.
