A Real Fink!
Abe was feeling downcast because he needed a new suit in the worst way
and couldn't afford to buy one when he passed a new store by the subway
at 72nd Street that had a sign in the window,
"What d'ya think - my name is Fink and I sell clothes for nothink!"
So Abe went into the store and chose a beautiful suit. He was so happy
to have it and planned to wear it to his new job the next day. The
depression had been on for a long time. This was the first job he'd had
since the crash. However, his joy was cut short when he strode out of
the store looking so good and feeling so lucky when Fink stopped him at
the door and demanded payment for the suit.
Abe was shocked, to say the least, about this turn of events! He
said,"your sign in the window says "What do you think, my name is Fink
and I sell clothes for nothink." How come you now want payment?
"Well", said Fink, "you read it wrong! It says, "What d'ya think? - My
name is Fink? - and I sell clothes for nothink???

Speak Up!
Morris realized he needed to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt unwilling
to spend much money. "How much do they cost?" he asked the salesperson.
"That depends," he said. "They run from $2.00 to $2,000."
"Let's see the $2.00 model," said Morris the miser.
The salesperson put the device around Morris' neck. "You just stick this
button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," he
instructed.
"How does it work?" , asked Morris.
"For $2.00 it doesn't work," the salesperson replied. "But when people see
it on you, they'll talk louder."

"Locked Car"
Leo and Sam exited and locked the car in a
hurry, forgetting to remove the key which was
in the ignition. Realizing the mistake, Leo asked,
"Why don't we get a coat hanger to open it."
"No, that won't work" answered Sam. "People
will think we're trying to break in."
Then Leo suggested, "What if we use a pocket
knife to cut around the rubber, then stick a finger
in and pull up the lock?"
"No," said Sam. "People will think we're too dumb
to use a coat hanger."
"Well," sighed Leo, "we'd better think of something
fast. It's starting to rain and the sun roof is open!"

impatient after a few minutes and removed his hand. The father said, “This
is important...put your hand back on his head!” -to which the little boy
exclaimed, “What, am I my brother’s kipah?”

It's a Cat's World
Every Friday night, a little old lady placed $1,000 in the tzaducah
(charity) box in the shul. This went on for weeks until the Rabbi, overcome
with
curiosity, approached her.
”Mrs. Ginzburg, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in
the tzaducah box,” he stated.
”Why yes,” she replied, “every week my son sends me money, and what I don't
need I give to the shul.”
”That’s wonderful, how much does he send you?”
”Oh, $2,000 a week.”
”Your son is very successful, what does he do for a living?”
”I believe he is a veterinarian,” she answered.
”That is a very honorable profession. Where does he practice?”
”Well,..
...he told me that he has one cat house in Chicago, and another in Dallas.”

You know you grew up Jewish when...

Every Sunday afternoon of your childhood was spent visiting your grandparents.
You've experienced the phenomena of 50 people fitting into a 10 foot wide
dining room hitting each other with plastic plates trying to get to a deli

bowties.

Your mother smacked you really hard and continues to make you feel badly
for hurting her hand.
You know how to pronounce numerous Yiddish words and use them correctly in
context, yet you don't exactly know what they mean. Kenahurra.

You grew up thinking it’s normal for someone to shout “are you okay? Are
you okay?” through the bathroom door if you’re in there for longer than 3
minutes.

The Forwarder's 12 Step Program
The emailer's "Forwarder's" 12 Step Program -
Now, Everyone Say It With Me...
1) I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my
mailing lists if I DON'T forward an email!
2) I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I do
forward an e-mail.
3) Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria's
Secret doesn't know anything about a gift certificate
they're supposed to send me.
4) Ford will NOT give me a 50% discount even if I forward
my e-mail to more than 50 people!
5) I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons, or freebies
from Coca Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy, or anyone else
if I send an e-mail to 10 people.
6) I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail
NEVER-EVER!
7) There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program,
and I am not Silly enough to think that someone will send
me $100 for forwarding an e-mail to 10 or more people!
8) There is NO kid with cancer through the Make-a-Wish
program in England collecting anything! He did when he
was 7 years old. He is now cancer free and 35 years old
and DOESN'T WANT ANY MORE POST CARDS, or
GET-WELL CARDS.
9) The government DOES NOT have a bill in Congress
called 901B (or whatever they named it this week) that, if
passed, will enable them to charge us 5 cents for every
e-mail we send.
10) There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful
flowers, characters, or program that I will receive immediately
after I forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!
11) The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to
certain individuals dying of some never-heard-of disease for
every e-mail address I send this to. The American Red
Cross RECEIVES donations.
12) And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending
things by telling me I am not their friend. And if G~d wants me to forward a message, I
believe the bushes in my yard will burn before He picks up
a PC to pass it on!
Now, repeat this to yourself until you have it memorized, and
send it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next full
moon or all of your hair will fall out, a mole in the shape of an
eggplant will grow on the tip of your nose, you will surely be
constipated for the next three months.
