Passing By

Two bees buzz around what's left of a rose bush. "How was your summer?" Bee #1 asks.

"Not too good," says Bee #2. "Lotta rain, lotta cold. Not enough flowers, not enough pollen."

The first bee has an idea. "Hey, why don't you go down to the corner and hang a left? There's a bar mitzvah going on. Plenty of flowers and fruit."

Bee #2 buzzes, "Thanks!" and takes off.

An hour later, the bees bump into each other again. "How was the bar mitzvah?" asks Bee #1.

"Great!" says Bee #2.

The first bee peers at his pal and wonders, "What's that on your head?"

"A yarmulke," is the answer. "I didn't want them to think I was a wasp."

Logical Thought

Morris thought he was dead, when in reality he was very much alive. His delusion became such a problem that his family finally paid for him to see a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist spent many laborious sessions trying to convince the man he was still alive. Nothing seemed to work. Finally the doctor tried one last approach. He took out his medical books and proceeded to show the patient that dead men don't bleed. After hours of tedious study, Morris seemed convinced that dead men don't bleed.

"Do you now agree that dead men don't bleed?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, I do," replied Morris.

"Very well, then," the doctor said. He took out a pin and pricked Morris' finger. Out came a trickle of blood. The doctor asked, "What does that tell you?"

"Oh my goodness!" Morris exclaimed, as he stared incredulously at his finger... "Dead men DO bleed!!"

Rise In Crimes

Did you see the recent story in the Jewish Chronicle about the theft of egg-enriched dough from a north London warehouse?

Unfortunately, the theft happened just before Shabbos and it forced many local bakeries to bake their challas with plain, white flour.

A leading rabbi was quoted as saying, "I'm appalled by the rise in white challa crimes!"

He Looks So Healthy

Morris meets Irving on the street.

"Morris, did you hear about Sam Grossman"?

"You mean Sam Grossman with the double hernia?"

"That's the one."

"Sam Grossman with the liver condition and the bad leg?"

"Yep, thats him."

"Sam Grossman with the yellow skin, and his head always bobbing up and down?"

"Yes him."

"No I didn't hear about Sam Grossman. What happened to him?"

"He died!"

"Oy vey! And he was such a healthy man!"

In Case You Missed It:

A man walks into synogogue with a dog. The shammas comes up to him and says, "Pardon me, this is a House of Worship, you can't bring your dog in here."

"What do you mean," says the man, "this is a religious Jewish dog.... Look."

And the shammas looks carefully and sees that in the same way that a St. Bernard carries a brandy barrel round its neck this dog has a tallis around its neck.

"Morris," says the man to the dog, "daven (pray) !".

"Woof!" says the dog, stands on his hind legs, opens the tallis bag, takes out a kippa and puts it on his head.

"Woof!" says the dog, stands on his hind legs, opens the tallis bag, takes out a siddur and starts to daven in perfect Hebrew.

"That's fantastic," says the shammas, "absolutely amazing, incredible! You should take him to Hollywood, get him on television, or get him into a Yeshiva and your dog Morris could become a Rabbi !!"

"You speak to him," says the man, "he wants to be a lawyer."
