 Matt teaches Harriet a joke: "A Jewish guy calls his mother and  says, Mom! How are you? And the mother says, Terrible. I havent  eaten in 38 days. And he says, Why havent you eaten in 38 days?  And the mother says, I didnt want my mouth full in case you should  call." In The West Wing, Season 5, Episode 5, "Constituency of One,"  Amy tells this same joke to Josh. Writing for both episodes is  credited to Eli Attie (qv).
