A women speaker was addressing a large group and
said, “Where would man be today if it were not for
woman?”
She paused a moment and looked around the room.
“I repeat, where would man be today if it were not for
woman?”
From the back of the room came a voice, “He’d be
in the Garden of Eden eating strawberries.”
"Somebody stole my wife's credit card."
"That's terrible."
"Not really. Whoever took it is spending a lot less
than she did."
An atheist is walking through the forest.
Suddenly Big Foot jumps out in front of
him. Petrified, the atheist yells out, “Oh God,
please save me!”
A booming voice from above responds, “I thought
you made it pretty clear all your life that you don’t
believe in me.”
The frightened man responds, “Well until a minute
ago, I didn’t believe in Big Foot either!”
I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous … not everyone has met me yet.
A Jewish man is driving down the freeway
when all of a sudden a Highway Patrol officer pulls him
over. He runs over to the car in a hurry motioning
for him to roll down his window and screaming "Sir,
sir, your wife fell out of the car two miles back."
David sighs a huge sigh of relief and says "Thank
goodness, I thought I'd gone deaf."
Murray and Esther, a middle-aged Jewish couple, are touring
Chile. Murray just got a new camera and is constantly snapping
pictures. One day, without knowing it, he photographs a top-secret
military installation. In an instant, armed troops surround Murray and
Esther and hustle them off to prison.
They can't prove who they are because they've left their
passports in their hotel room. For three weeks they're tortured day
and night to get them to name their contacts in the liberation
movement.. Finally they're hauled in front of a military court,
charged with espionage, and sentenced to death.
The next morning they're lined up in front of the wall where
they'll be shot. The sergeant in charge of the firing squad asks them
if they have any lasts requests. Esther wants to know if she can call
her daughter in Chicago. The sergeant says he's sorry, that's not
possible, and turns to Murray.
"This is crazy!" Murray shouts. "We're not spies!" And he
spits in the sergeants face.
"Murray!" Esther cries. "Please! Don't make trouble."
A man goes to a tailor to try on a new custom-made suit. The
first thing he notices is that the arms are too long.
"No problem," says the tailor. "Just bend them at the elbow
and hold them out in front of you. See, now it's fine."
"But the collar is up around my ears!"
"It's nothing. Just hunch your back up a little ... no, a
little more ... that's it."
"But I'm stepping on my cuffs!" the man cries in desperation.
"Nu, bend you knees a little to take up the slack. There you
go. Look in the mirror -- the suit fits perfectly."
So, twisted like a pretzel, the man lurches out onto the
street. Reba and Florence see him go by.
"Oh, look," says Reba, "that poor man!"
"Yes," says Florence, "but what a beautiful suit."
In high school, I was voted the girl most likely to
become a nun. That may not be impressive to you, but
it was quite an accomplishment at the Hebrew Academy.
It's the yahtzeit of Bernie Gold's death and Sadie,
his widow, goes to the cemetery to clean his grave,
read a prayer and then place a small stone on the
marble, as is the tradition, to show that the deceased
is remembered.
But because she hadn't visited his grave for some
years, Sadie cannot find Bernie's resting place and
has to ask an attendant for help. He escorts her to
the cemetery office where all the records are kept.
He made her a cup of coffee and then spent time
looking at maps and lists. After 30 minutes, he
finally turns to Sadie and says, "I can find no record
of a Bernie Gold buried at this cemetery. Are you sure
he is here? All I can find is the grave of Sadie Gold"
"That's him!" Sadie shouts out. "Bernie always put
everything in my name."
Bernie and Esther were not the most religious Jews and in fact they
really only went to Temple once a year. As they were leaving the Temple,
the Rabbi said, "Bernie, it sure would be nice to see you and Esther
here more than once a year!"
"I know," replied Bernie, "but at least we keep the Ten Commandments."
"That's great," the Rabbi said. "I'm glad to hear that you keep the
Commandments."
"Yep," Bernie said proudly, "Esther keeps six of them and I keep the
other four."
