The rabbi started walking faster so that he could catch up to his friend, when he was horrified to see his friend go into a Chinese restaurant (not a kosher one). Standing at the door, he observed his friend talking to a waiter and gesturing at a menu. A short time later, the waiter reappeared

And a great voice was heard from above...

"BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BOTHER ME ALL THE more...
