Mrs. Sam Lapidus from the Bronx is delighted to find that her sunbathing companion at Miami Beach each day is a bejeweled Mrs. Irving Goldstein from Great Neck on Long Island. Fascinated by Mrs. Goldstein, Mrs. Lapidus has studied her carefully for clues to her age. She cannot detect signs of a face lift. There is no evidence of graying roots in her carefully coiffed blonde tresses.
Finally, unhappy with her inability to find age-revealing clues, she decides to resort to a frontal attack to satisfy her curiosity. She will muster up the courage to ask Mrs. Goldstein a direct question, and that will settle the matter once and for all.
In the middle of an innocuous discussion, Mrs. Lapidus blurts out, “Mrs. Goldstein, I was wondering, have you been through the menopause?”
“Goodness, no,” Mrs. Golstein beams benignly at her. “We haven’t seen everything at the Fontainbleau yet.”

This is a good joke, but non-Jews and younger generations of Jews are not going to get this joke. The Bronx, Great Neck, Miami Beach, blonde, and Fontainbleu no longer imply what they once did about these characters and their motivations.
