As you know the Marx Brothers

were Jewish. Groucho had children with a Gentile, including a daughter who he took to a social gathering at a

country club to which he had been invited.

The club had a swimming pool, and the daughter wanted to go swimming

but was disallowed because of the club rules forbidding Jews in the pool.

Groucho asked for the manager, who

still refused. He then asked, "well can she go in up to her waist since she's only half Jewish?".
