Are you chocking?

Out for lunch one day, a group of immagrants were having a fine time until Hymie began to gag.
“I – I think I svallowed a bone” Hymie gasped.
“Hymie” said Miklos, “are you chocking?”
“No, demmit, I’m serious!”

He misunderstood "chocking" (s/b "choking, BTW) for "joking."

yeah i mean even with "choking" (the correct spelling) It still doesn't really make sense to me. some dude is like oh man I think I swallowed a bone, other dude says "oh are you choking?" and then the response is "no, I'm serious" which means, he's not choking, he just swallowed a bone, therefore i'm left going "well whats so funny?

*smacks self in face*

It's an accent joke. Mexican accents conflate J and Ch sounds.

A cursory Google search will call up the fact that "Hymie" is a derogatory term for a Jew.

I had a friend named Jaime whose parents were from Mexico. It was pronounced Hymie. J in spanish is pronounced as an h sound. So I think that is what the op is going for.

Haimie (Chaim) - Hebraic name - anglo equiv. James - span. equiv - 'haime.

It's all the same.

But this is an old east european Jew joke.

It's the same as this one:

Abie and Moishe were driving their car, and they were running low on petrol, so they pulled into a full service petrol station.

The attendent comes out the car and says "juice?"

"So vot if ve are" says Moise "just fill 'er up".

Yeah, and I found that "Miklos" is a Hungarian name. But I'm sure it could be found in other areas, too.
