From the PLO
Arafat was having a meeting with all of the top leadership of the PLO when suddenly the phone rings. It's his wife Huuha, calling from the family house in Paris. She is whispering... "Ya Yasser, I think there is a thief in the house...."
Arafat shouts: "Calm down, woman, there's no thief."
Huuha: "How do you know?"
Arafat: "All the thieves are here with me!"
(Told (quietly) by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority.... honest)

If You Don't Know Some Hebrew, Skip This
A new guy in Shul, Moshe, is asked to do Hagbah. It was a pitiful sight.
He could barely lift the Sefer Torah, almost drops it and sits down VERY
quickly. He was very embarrassed and makes a resolution to go home and
work out. For the next few months, he lifts weights, does push ups, sit
ups and pull ups. He's ready.
The next Shabbos Moshe goes to Shul and he's all excited and ready. All of
a sudden he hears the Gabbai call his name, so he rushes up to the Bima,
grabs the Sefer Torah, lifts it and opens up at least 10 columns. Swings it to the left and then to the right. He's
feeling VERY proud. He turns to the Gabbai and says, "So, how was it ?"
The Gabbai says, "Well your Hagbah was great, but I called you up for
Shlishi"

Anti Semitism
Morris Goldstein finished his college education and decided his future
was in radio broadcasting.
After college he graduated from Yale's famous master's program in
Performing Arts. Not satisfied he took further training at the famous
New York Academy of Public Speaking.
With all his degrees in hand Morris got his first interview for a
radio announcer's job at KWK Radio in Manhattan.
That night Morris sadly admitted to his friend Jerry that he was
turned down on his first interview for a radio announcer's job.
Friend Jerry said. " But why Morris, you have all the education and
degrees ? "
Morris said with great sadness, " B-b-bec-c-caus-se t-t-hey-y
a-a-ar-re a-aa-an-n-nt-ti ss-sse-m-m-met-tic aa-at k-k-k-kw-k-k ! "

Making a Deal
A Rabbi with a large family of seven children
moved to a new city. He and his wife didnt want to buy a
home immediately. They wanted to rent a townhouse until
they could get a feel for the area and choose a home
where their kids would be in good schools and they could
be conveniently located.
They found plenty of rental townhouses that were
large enough, but the landlords always objected to having
a family of nine occupy the place.
In frustration, one day the Rabbi asked the mother
to take the four youngest children and go visit the local
cemetery. She was puzzled by his request, but went along.
He and the other three children headed off to investigate
another townhouse they had found.
The place was perfect and the Rabbi told the
landlord he would take it. Then came the usual question, I
see you have children. How many are there in the family?
The Rabbi gave out with a deep sigh, then said,
Seven ... but four are with their dear mother in the
cemetery..... He got the townhouse.

Shofar Blowers
Jack and Sam are having a conversation.
Jack asks Sam what time it is.
Sam answers him and asks Jack why he doesn't have a watch.
Jack answers that he doesn't need one since he could always
ask someone else for the time.
"But, what do you do if you get up during the night and
you want to know what time it is", asks Sam.
"I have a shofar (ram's horn )." answers Jack.
"A shofar? How's that going to help?", asks Sam.
"Simple", answers Jack.
"I just open the window and start blowing. Soon the neighbors
start yelling. . . . Are you crazy, blowing shofar at 3:00 O'clock in the morning!"

Yeshiva Bocher's First Date
A Yeshiva Bocher (young man) is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about what to talk
about. He asks his Rabbi for advice.
The Rabbi replies: "My son, there are three subjects that always work.
These are food, family, and philosophy."
The boy picks up his date and they go to a hotel lobby to talk. They stare at each other for a long time, as the boy's
nervousness builds.
He remembers his Rabbi's advice, and chooses the first topic.
He asks the girl: "Do you like spinach?" She says "No," and the silence
returns.
After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his Rabbi's
suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, "Do you have
a brother?"
Again, the girl says "No" and there is silence once again.
The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his Rabbi's advice and asks
the girl the following question: "If you had a brother, would he like spinach?"

George W. & the Yeshva Bochrem
During summer vacation, three Yeshiva boys, Milton, Aaron and Michael,
went fishing every day at the creek. George W. Bush was out jogging one
morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing
and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get
to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water.
He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.
The first kid, Milton Goodstein says, "I want to go to Disneyland."
Bush says, "No problem, I'll fly you there on my special Airforce One airplane "
The second kid, Aaron Goldfarb says, "I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan's."
Bush says, "I'll get them for you and even have Michael sign them!!"
The third kid, Michael Silverstein says, "I want a motorized wheelchair
with a built in TV and stereo headset!" Bush is a little perplexed by
this and says, "But you don't look like you're handicapped?
The kid says, "I will be after my dad finds out I saved you from drowning.

Health & Fitness Corner
Public Service Feature from the Jmag
Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it. Don't waste
them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart
will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of
your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Have a beer while you watch the boob-tube, your heart beats slower that way.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and
corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an
efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?
Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy
vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily
allowance of vegetable slop.
Q: Is beer or wine bad for me?
A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all
know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories:
animal, mineral and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not
animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only
leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy
your liquid vegetables.
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to
one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain - Good.
Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer?
A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual expression and peace of mind. If
you stop, you'll probably stress yourself to death in record time.
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: You're not listening! Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In
fact, they're permeated in it. Frying in motor oil is unhealthy! How could getting more vegetables be bad
for you?
Q: What's the secret to healthy eating?
A: Thicker gravy.
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should
only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO ... Cocoa beans ... Another vegetable!
"It's the best feel-good food around!"
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about
food and diets. Have a cookie ... remember, flour is a veggie!
One more thing: When life hands you lemons, ask for a bottle of tequila
and the salt.
