Jews and Such
Two old Jewish men are strolling down the street
one day when they happen to walk by a church.
They see a big sign posted that says,
"Convert & Get $10."
One of the Jewish men stops walking and stares
at the sign. His friend turns to him and says,
"Murray, what's going on?"
"Abe," replies Murray, "I'm thinking of doing it."
Abe says: "What, are you crazy?"
Murray thinks for a minute and says,
"Abe, I'm going to do it."
With that, Murray strides purposefully into the
church and comes out twenty minutes later with
his head bowed.
"So," asks Abe, "did you get your ten dollars?"
Murray looks up at him and says,
"Is that all you people think of?"

A Jewish father, Moisha, was beset by his

marry!"
His father begins to dance with joy and sing
Hava Nagila... "Tell me, is she a good Jewish
girl?" says the father. "What is her name?"
"O'Brien" replies the son... "She's Catholic..."
"Oy!" says the father.... "But are you happy?"
"I'm happy," says the son..
"Ok...as long as you're happy.... my blessings
to you both," replies Moisha.
But the father is still counting on his remaining
sons, Schlemiel and Chutzpah...
Schlemiel calls on his father the next evening,
"Father... I too will be married soon!"
Again, Moisha breaks out in a dance and sings
God's praises... "What is her name," implores
the father?
"Kazalopodopolous," says the son.
"She's Greek Orthodox..."
"Oy," says Moisha... "But are you happy?"
"I'm happy, father..."
"Ok... then you, too, have my blessing,"
intones Moisha...
Dejected, Moisha goes to the Temple to pray..
"Please God... let my remaining son Chutzpah
marry a nice Jewish girl... to raise nice Jewish
children in your eyes ... PLEASE!"
Chutzpah comes to his father excitedly and
exclaims, "Father! I am to wed in the spring!"
"Her NAME? WHAT IS HER NAME" his father
immediately demands?
"Goldberg!" says Chutzpah!
Moisha is beside himself with joy!
"Praise God! Praise the Prophets!"
Turning to Chutzpah, he asks,
"Is she Doctor Goldberg's daughter Shelley,
from Los Angeles?
"No..." says Chutzpah...
"Hmmm," says Moisha... "Must be Attorney
Goldberg's daughter Rachel from Hollywood?"
"Ah...no, father" says Chutzpah...
"Well, then, what is her first name, my
youngest, truest, most beautiful son?
"Whoopi." says Chutzpah.

Always Explain Things to Children
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the
aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd alternating
between the bride's side and the groom's side. While facing the crowd he
would put his hands up like claws and roar...so it went, step, step, ROAR,

crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the
pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from
all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the
pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was
being the Ring Bear..."
