There is a quote at the beginning of "An evening with Groucho Marx" (a
old record I chanced upon in a used record store.)  The narrator (who
is about to introduce Groucho) relates a story where Groucho had
accompanied some friends (with his daughter) to a restricted country
club.  When Groucho appeared to be about to enter the pool, someone
from the management approached him and asked (since the club was
restricted) that Groucho not swim.  

Groucho apparently replied with, "Well what about my daughter, she's
only half-Jewish.  Can she go in up to her knees?"
