On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this
night only matzah.
Happy Passover, Larry

If I only shared the Russian version below, the joke would only be
accessible to a small fraction of my friends; with my loose
translation, hopefully it’s accessible to a fraction more :) have a
good chuckle, and a good day!

Bill Gates announced a contest for a vacant spot of CEO at
“Microsoft-Europe”. 5000 people showed up for the interview in a
huge hall. Among the attendees, there was Moris Cohen, a Sephardic
Jew from Paris.
Bill Gates warmly thanked the attendees, then asked everyone who
didn’t know Java to leave the room. 2000 people got up and left.
Moris Cohen thought, “I don’t know Java, but what would I lose if I
stayed?”
Then Bill Gates asked that everyone who didn’t have experience
managing groups of more than 100 people to leave the room. 2000 more
people left the room. Moris Cohen thought, “I don’t have that
experience, but what would I lose if I stayed?”
Then Bill Gates asked everyone who didn’t graduate their university
cum laude, to leave the room. 500 people left the room. Moris Cohen
thought, “I dropped out of school when I was 15, but what would I
lose if I stayed?”
Then Bill Gates asked everyone who wasn’t fluent in Serbian and
Croatian to leave the room. 498 more people left. Moris Cohen
thought, “I don’t know these languages, but what would I lose if I
stayed?”
After that, only him and one other attendee were left in the room.
Bill Gates approaches them and said, “I see, only you two are fluent
in Serbian and Croatian. I’d like to hear you communicate in them.”
Without flinching an eye, Moris Cohen turned to the other candidate
and said, “Ma nishtanah halailah hazeh mikol haleilot?”
To which, without hesitation, the other candidate replied,
“Sheb’khol haleilot anu okhlin hametz umatzah; halailah hazeh, kuloh
matzah.”
Hag Sameah to all who celebrate!

Sooner or later "different" scares people.
