A little Jewish grandmother gets on the crowded bus and discovers that she doesn't have correct change for the fare. The driver tries to be firm with her, but she places her hand delicately over her chest and murmurs, "If you knew what I had, you'd be nicer to me." He caves in and lets her ride for free.
She tries to push her way down the crowded aisle but people won't move over for her. She finally places her hand delicately over her chest and murmurs, "If you knew what I had, you'd be nicer to me." The crowd parts like the Red Sea and lets her down the aisle.
She gets to the back of the bus where there are no seats and looks significantly at several people, none of whom take the hint and get up to offer her their seat. Once again she places her hand delicately over her chest and murmurs, "If you knew what I had, you'd be nicer to me." Several people jump up and insist that she sit down and ride in comfort.
A woman who had been watching all this leaned over and said to her, "I know this is none of my business, but just what is it that you've got, anyway?
The little Jewish grandmother smiled and said, "Chutzpah."
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette
convertible out
of the
dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to
80 mph,
enjoying the
wind blowing through what little hair he had left.
"Amazing," he
thought as
he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state
trooper behind him,
blue
lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to
100 mph...then
110... then 120.
Suddenly he thought,"What am I doing? I'm too old for
this," and
pulled over
to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him,
the trooper
walked up
to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir,
my shift ends in
30
minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason
for speeding
that I've
never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused, then said, "Years ago, my
wife ran off with
a
Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her
back."
"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.
* I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

(from a speech given recently)
Ladies of Hadassah.
Let me start by saying how nice it is to be among mishpoche. I'm reminded of a Sunday morning a few weeks back when I was sitting with my husband, the former President, and our beautiful and talented daughter, Chelsea. (An investment banker now, by the way, with a very good company. I know I don't have to tell you what a mecheiah it is, having a child like this.)
Anyway, I was sitting having my usual bagel with some good nova and a schmear, and I said to my husband, "Bill-eleh. How fortunate we all are to be living in this great country of ours. I mean, sure, we've still got that momzer in the White House. Not to mention Cheney, that chazzer. Or the farshimulte meeskite running the State Department. And don't even get me started on Gonzales, that little toochis lecker! A cholyera on all of them, I say!
"But this is my point. Where but in this beautiful country of ours would you find a boy named Grossman playing quarterback in the Super Bowl?
(Okay, he lost the game, but gay g'zind.) And where but in America would I be sitting down with Mrs. Feinstein and Mrs. Boxer not to drink Sanka and play mah jongg, but to decide the important domestic and foreign issues of the day?
And so, ladies, today as I reach out the hand of friendship to you, my shvestern, my landsmen, I come to ask that you join me in my quest. And to assure you that behind this goyishe punim is a yiddisher kop.
I hope to meet each of you personally at the lovely dairy brunch following this event. And I hope you'll forgive me if I pass on the whitefish, it's a little salty and I'm retaining. God bless America ! We should all live and be well!
Why are elephants big, wrinkled, large, gray, hairy?
Because of they were small, white, smooth, round, and hairless, they'd be aspirin tablets.
The customer in the Italian restaurant was so pleased that he asked to speak to the chef. The owner proudly led him into the kitchen and introduced him to the chef.
"Your pasta quattro formaggi was superb!" the customer said. "I just spent a month in Italy, and yours is better than any I had over there."
"Naturally," the chef said. "Over there, they use domestic cheese. Ours is imported."
Checking out his intelligence, the teacher asked six-year-old Johnny, who watched a good many TV, adds, "Johnny, if you found a couple of dollars and had to spend them, what would you buy?”
“A box of Tampax,” he replied without hesitation.
“Tampax?” said the doctor. “What would you do with that?”
“Well,” said Johnny, “I do not know exactly, but it’s sure worth two dollars. With Tampax, it says on TV, you can go swimming, go horseback riding, and also go skating, any time you want to.”

When a panel of doctors was asked to vote on adding a new wing to their
hospital, the Allergists voted to scratch it and the Dermatologists advised
no rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists
thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the Obstetricians stated
they were all laboring under a misconception.
The Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the Pathologists
yelled, "Over my dead body", while the Pediatricians said, "Grow up!"
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the surgeons decided
to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Radiologists could see right
through it!
The physicians thought it was a bitter pill to swallow; and the Plastic
Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists felt the
scheme wouldn't hold water.
The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists
didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists left the decision up to some A_ _hole in
administration.
