Chaim is in the hospital, recovering from a massive heart attack, with his wife, Yenta, at his side. As he comes out of his drugged stupor he turns to his wife and says, "Yenta, you remember when I had my appendectomy"? "Of course!" says Yenta. "And you were sitting by my side then" says Chaim, "I wouldn't have been any where else" replies Yenta.
"And remember the emergency hernia operation when I almost didn't make it?" asks Chaim, "You were by my side then too". "Of course" replies Yenta with tears in her eyes. "And now I wake up from a massive heart attack and here you are - by my side!" exclaims Chaim, "Yes, yes" says Yenta, becoming very emotional.
"So you were by my side by the appendectomy, you were right there when I had the hernia and here you are when I have a heart attack.
Yenta, you think maybe you bring me bad luck??"
