Two men walked into a restaurant, the first one asks for tea. The second
also asks for tea. "And make sure the glass is clean," he tells the waiter.
When the waiter returns with the two glasses of tea he asks, "Which one of
asked for the clean glass?"

Goldstein had been going to the same restaurant for ten years. Every day he
starts with the same thing, barley soup. One day, as soon as he comes in the
waiter brings the soup over to his table. "I want you to taste the soup,"
Goldstein says as the waiter starts to walk away. "What's the matter?" the
waiter asks, "Every day you take the same barley soup." "I want you to taste
the soup," Goldstein repeats. "You don't want the barley soup?" the waiter
says, "I'll bring you something else." "I want you to taste the soup,"
Goldstein says once more. "Okay, okay, I'll taste the barley soup," says the
waiter, wearily, "Where's the spoon?" "Aha!"

Chachamim
A chucham (wise man) calls on the rabbi of a town and asks for help. "Everything I
owned, Rabbi, was lost when my house burned down in a terrible fire. I've
been left with nothing."
"Do you have a letter from the rabbi of your town
attesting to this fire?" the rabbi asks.
"I had such a letter, but alas,
that too was lost in the fire."

A chacham named Goldstein goes into a restaurant and orders potato latke.
When they come he does not like the look of them and changes his order to
blintzes. When he had finished he stands up and starts to leave. "Wait a
second," said the manager, "You haven't paid for your blintzes."
"What are
you talking about?" Goldstein replies. "Those blintzes were only an
exchange. I gave you the potato latke for them."
"Yes, but you didn't pay
for them either."
"Why should I pay for the potato latke? I didn't eat
them."

Back in the middle ages, in a small European city there was an anti-semitc priest who was an expert in Biblical
Hebrew. He was always at loggerheads with the Rabbi at the local synagogue.
So he thought he would finally settle the matter in a public challenge. Each
would ask the other to translate a Hebrew term and the first to fail to do
so would be immediately executed. The Rabbi was terrified, and the Jewish
community was in a terrible quandary. Finally a Jewish labourer comes
forward. "I am willing to accept the Priest's challenge."
On the day when all
were assembled, the labourer was told to ask the first question. He asked,
"What does 'ai-neh-nee yoh-day-ah' mean?" The Priest answers, "I don't know."
(Which is what the two Hebrew words literally mean). And he is immediately
executed.
The Jews celebrate and are very impressed with the labourer's
ingenuity. They ask him when he got such a brilliant idea. "I grew up in a
village near here," he replied, "and our Rabbi was one of the greatest
scholars. One day someone asked him the same question, to which he replied,
'I don't know.' So I figured that if our old Rabbi didn't know, then this
priest wouldn't know either."

The Vision
A man walking along a California beach was
deep in prayer. All of a
sudden he said out loud, "Lord grant me one
wish." Suddenly the sky
clouded above his head and in a booming voice
the Lord said, "Because
you have been faithful to me in all ways, I will
grant you one wish"
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I
can drive over anytime I
want to."
The Lord said, "Your request is very
materialistic. Think of the
logistics of that kind of undertaking. The
supports required to reach
the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel
it would take! I can
do it, but it is hard for me to justify your
desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of another wish, a
wish you think would
honor and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time.
Finally he said, "Lord, I have been married
and divorced four times.
All of my wives said that I am uncaring and
insensitive. I wish that I
could understand women. I want to know how
they feel inside, what they
are thinking when they give me the silent
treatment, why they cry, what
they mean when they say "nothing" and how I
can make a woman truly happy".
After a few minutes God said, "You want two
lanes or four on that bridge?"

If BBC had reported Pearl Harbor the way they report the
Middle East ....
PEARL HARBOR (Hawaii) - December 8, 1941
US Navy officials reported earlier today that a number of Navy
warships in the American settlement of Pearl Harbor were suddenly
discovered to be sinking. Unnamed sources blamed the incident on a
training exercise being conducted by the Japanese Navy nearby.
In Tokyo, Japanese officials said while some civilian fishing
boats were in the area, they were unaware of any unusual activity.
They repeated their commitment to the peace process, and said that
any violence was the direct result of continued American aggression.
They emphasized that only peaceful negotiations based on a US
acceptance of Japan's leading role in Asia could reduce the tensions
between the countries, and called for an international inquiry.
US President Roosevelt, who leads the hard-line Democratic
Party,
accused the Japanese Navy of a deliberate "sneak attack" on the
American fleet. He said thousands of American soldiers had been
killed on "a day that will live in infamy." There was no independent
confirmation of those figures, which respected Japanese sources say
are greatly exaggerated. Because of the belligerent tone of the
right-wing American President's remarks, many Japanese consider him
to be a war criminal.
The region, in which the US has built
hundreds of illegal settlements since its unilateral annexation of
Hawaii, has been a flash point since US Admiral Perry's visit to
Japan in 1853, which some Japanese consider to have been a
defilement of holy Japanese soil by an uncivilized foreigner.
Japanese civilians have repeatedly called for spontaneous "days of
rage" to protest the intrusion by the American military, which is
against international law.
Since Perry's visit, more than 120 million Japanese have died,
many of them children, and more than 73 typhoons and 213 earthquakes
have struck Japan.
No earthquakes were recorded in the US.
