Engels visiting Marx one day

"Guten Tag, Karl!"

"Hi Friedrich. Good to see you... you're in town."

"Yes. Just thought I'd drop in. I got the rent."

"Thanks"

"The landlady says the tenants in the other rooms are...it's not me Karl...or her. The tenants took up a collection and bought you this."

"Soap? What do they want me to do with this?"

"Karl, they are fools! White male European geniuses shouldn't waste their precious time on mundane things like bathing."

"Friedrich, recently I've let myself smell like this to separate the believers from the non-believers. I'll thank you to take out those nose plugs!"

(Marx waves a finger towards Engels's nose.)

"We're both old White males, Friedrich. Our natural bodily odors are of the finest perfume. Besides, I bathe as much as they do. They're Jewphobic! I tried to tell them I'm an atheist so they would like me better, but all they see is Jew, Jew, Jew."

(Marx shakes his head in disgust.)

(Engels takes out his nose plugs, wincing.)

"Look Karl, I can't stay. Here's some money. Do you guys need anything from the grocery store?"

"Paper. I'm working on my theory of capital. Maybe some more of that fish?"

"You got it Karl."
