This is THE Joke of the Month
(If you haven't heard it, you ain't "in")
Two guys have been learning the Talmud together for 20 years. One of them is
going to make a bar mitzvah so he says to the other one, "I am
making a bar mitzvah and I would like you to come."
"I'm sorry, I can't."
"But I really want you to come."
"You don't understand. I just can't come."
"But why can't you come?"
"I'm not Jewish."
"What do you mean? We have been learning together for 20
years."
"I enjoy the intellectual stimulation."
"But we learned
that a gentile that keep shabbos is 'chayav misah.' "
"I never kept the
shabbat. Every time I was ready to leave my house, I put
a key in my pocket."
"But we have an eruv here."
"I don't hold from that eruv."

In the Beginning
(from the Corporate Bible)
- In the beginning was the Plan.
- And then came the Assumptions.
- And the Assumptions were without form.
- And the Plan was without substance.
- And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
- And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It
is a crock of sh-t, and it stinkith"
- And the Workers went unto their Supervisors
and said, "It is a pail of dung, and we cannot
abide the smell."
- And the Supervisors went unto their Managers,
saying "It is a container of excrement, and it
is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
- And the Managers went unto their Directors,
saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none
may abide its strength."
- And the Directors spoke among themselves,
saying to one another, "It contains that which
aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
- And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents,
saying unto them, "It promotes growth, and it
is very powerful."
- And the Vice Presidents went to the President,
saying unto him, "This new plan will actively
promote the growth and vigor of the company
with powerful effects"
- And the President looked upon the Plan and saw
that it was good.
- And the Plan became Policy.
- And that, my friends, is how sh-t happens.

Married in Heaven
Distribution limited to the legal profession only.
On their way to get married, a young couple are involved in a fatal
car accident. The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly
Gates waiting for the head angel to process them into Heaven.
While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in
Heaven? When the head angel shows up, they asked him. The head angel says,
"I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find
out," and he leaves.
The couple sat and waited for an answer. . . . .
for a couple of months.
While they waited, they discussed that IF they were allowed to get married
in Heaven,
SHOULD they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work?" they wondered, "Are we stuck together FOREVER?"
After yet another month, The head angel finally returns, looking somewhat
bedraggled. "Yes," he informs the couple, "you CAN get married in
Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things
don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
The angel,
red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's
wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!!" The head angel shouts, "It took me three months to find a
priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take me to find a
lawyer?

Gambling
A rabbi, a minister, and a priest were playing poker when the police raided
the game.
Turning to the priest, the lead police officer said, "Father
Murphy, were you gambling?"
Turning his eyes to heaven, the priest whispered, "L*rd, forgive me for what
I am about to do." To the police officer, he then said, "No, officer; I was
not gambling."
The officer then asked the minister, "Pastor Johnson, were you gambling?"
Again, after an appeal to heaven, the minister replied, "No, officer; I was
not gambling."
Turning to the rabbi, the officer again asked, "Rabbi Goldstein, were you
gambling?"
Shrugging his shoulders, the rabbi replied, "With whom?"

What to do if a telemarketer calls your home
1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for
bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I'm so glad you
asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these
problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just
died . . . "
3. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell
their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where
it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work
there, how they got into this line of work if they are married, how many
kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or
questions about their company for as long as necessary.
4. This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Judy
and I'm with XYZ Company. " You: Wait for a second and with a real husky
voice ask, "What are you wearing?"
5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy? Is that you? Oh golly! Judy, how have you
been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as
she tries to figure out where she could know you from.
6. Say "No" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and
keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most
fun if you can do it until they hang up.
7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends
Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I don't have any
friends, would you be my friend?"
8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you
get out goat blood? How about human blood?"
9. After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or her to
marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you can't just
give your credit card number to a complete stranger.
10. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company and they
can't sell to employees.
11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set
the receiver down, scream, "Dump everything down the toilet, its a drug
bust!" and then hang up.
12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him if he
will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him back. When
the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home
numbers say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home,
right?" The Telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up.
13. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
14. Tell them it is dinner time, but ask if they would please hold. Put
them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure.
Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
15. Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if
they could bring you some beer.
16. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.
17. Tell the Telemarketer, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I should
probably tell you, I'm not wearing any clothes."
18. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke.
"Come on, Moishe, cut it out! Seriously, Moishe, how's your momma leprosy?"
19. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up . .
. louder . . . louder . . .
20. Tell them to talk very slowly, because you want to write every word down.
