Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend
Morris ran into Jacob while shopping at the mall the other day and
noticed that he had a small gift wrapped box in his hand.
Jacob told Morris, "Beckie's birthday is coming up and when I asked her
what she wanted for her birthday she said, "Oh, I don't know just give
me something with lots of diamonds in it'."
"So what did you get her?" Morris asked.
Jacob smiled and replied, "I bought her a deck of cards!"

Ya' hear me now?
(This is my idea of priceless!)
An elderly gentleman feared his wife was getting
hard of hearing. So
one day he called her doctor to make an appointment
to have her hearing
checked.
The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in
two weeks, and
meanwhile there's a simple informal test the husband
could do to give
the
doctor some idea of the state of her problem.
'Here's what you do," said the doctor, "Start out
about 40 feet away
from her, and in a normal conversational speaking
tone see if she hears
you.If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on
until you get a
response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking
dinner, and he's in
the living room. He says to himself, "I'm about 40
feet away, let's see
what
happens."
Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for
supper?" No
response.
So the husband moved to the other end of the room,
about 30 feet
from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for
supper?" Still no
response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about
20 feet from
his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for supper?" Again
he gets no
response.
So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet
away. "Honey,
what's for supper?" Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for
supper?"
(I just love this!)
"Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!"

Channuka/X-mas News
MIAMI BEACH, FLA - [TheKnish.com] Exhausted and overworked, Santa Claus has decided to convert to Judaism to lessen his workload and decrease his stress.
Mr. Claus's first inkling that Judaism was his new intended path was when he was unloading one particularly heavy bag of gifts and muttered "Oy Oy Oy!" instead of "Ho Ho Ho!" Santa took this as divine inspiration and began some serious reflection on the matter.
Mr. Claus sat down at his desk in the North Pole and itemized the benefits of bringing toys to Jewish children. Most obvious was that there were much less children to service, approximately 3,000,000 Jewish children, as opposed to almost 500,000,000 Christian children. The next obvious benefit was that he had eight days of Hannukah to deliver all of these gifts instead of jamming the entire shipment into one night, which constantly required the already weary Santa to travel at the speed of light to accomplish the task.
Finally, the straw that broke the reindeer's back was the realization that Jewish households had far more delicious cuisine to offer. Gefilte fish, chicken soup, blintzes, knishes and the like are more palatable than the milk and cookies he got bored of after the second century.
Circumcision won't be necessary for Santa, because that's already been taken of in a freak accident involving frostbite after getting stuck in a tight chimney.
Santa has left the frigid, brutal confines of the North Pole and has begun his toy shop anew in the sunny climes of Miami Beach, Florida. He has fired all of those annoying elves and replaced them with nice Jewish retirees from New York.
The last piece of the puzzle is legally changing his name to something more in line with his new ethnic atmosphere. Beginning Hannukah 2003, Santa Claus will heretofore be known as the Chimneyshtooper Rebbe. [Martin Bodek]

Card Players
All evening long four cardplayers had been pestered by Morris,
a self-proclaimed genius who commented on everyone's poker hand
and style of play. When Morris went out of the room for a moment,
they hit on a plan to silence him.
"Let's make up a game no one ever heard of," one of them said.
"Then he'll have to shut up."
The busybody Morris returned. The dealer tore two cards in half and
gave them to the man on his left. He tore the corners off three cards and
spread them out in front of the man opposite him. Then he tore five cards
in quarters, gave 15 pieces to the man on his right and kept five himself.
"I have a mingle," he said. "I'll bet a dollar."
"I have a snazzle," the next man announced. "I'll raise you two
dollars."
The third man folded without betting, and the fourth, after much
deliberation, said, "I've got a farfle. I'll raise you five dollars."
Morris shook his head vehemently. "You're crazy," he said. "
You're never going to beat a mingle and a snazzle with a lousy
farfle!"

wondering, then, just how serious is my condition. This prescription is
marked: 'NO REFILLS.'"
