“Our Rabbi is an extraordinary man. He is so pious that the Almighty himself comes to see him. The other day the Rabbi told me that when he was having his coffee, the door opened and the Almighty enters! He sat down at the table, drank a cup coffee, smoked a cigar, told the rabbi about this and that, and then stood up and left.”
“Tell me, does your Rabbi lie?”
“Of course not, would the Almighty come to see a liar!”

The patient told his therapist “I dreamed last night that you were my mother.”
As is typical, the therapist asked, “And how do you feel about that?”
“I’m not sure he answered.” This morning, I overslept. Since I was late for my appointment with you, I quickly downed a cookie, washed it down with soda, and rushed right over.”
The therapist looked up and said, “A cookie and a soda, you call that a breakfast?”
Morris was sitting on his porch, when a young man walked up with a pad and pencil in his hand. "What are you selling young man?" he asked. "I'm not selling anything, sir," the young man replied.

The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles.
Being poor, they bought the cow from Minsk .
The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it.
Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again.
They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever
the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach
the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the rabbi, who was very wise, what to do.
They told the rabbi what was happening; "Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away.
If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front,
she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side.
The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked, "Did you buy this cow from Minsk ?"
The people were dumbfounded. They had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow.
"You are truly a wise rabbi. How did you know we got the cow from Minsk ?
"The rabbi answered sadly, "My wife is from Minsk ."
