Sylvia asks Moe how it feels to be promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Says she isn't feeling well and may go to see an M.D. Says she and her sister avoided a ticket from a policeman who told her in Yiddish that he wasn't giving them a ticket for speeding because they were Jewish. Sylvia opines she was surprised that a patrolman was Jewish.
