Moving Up With Sadie and Abe
Sadie had moved to the suburbs now, and she and Abey had joined the
new very elite Country Club there. Abey was somewhat embarrassed by
Sadie when they would dine there, and one evening before they went
out for dinner at the club, Abey decided to give his wife a bit of
advice.
"Sadie" he said, "ven ve go to dee club, and dee vaiter asks you
vaht you vahnt for ah drink.....please don't say `ah glass
Manishevitz vine.' At a club like dis, you don't ask for
Manishevitz vine."
"No, Abey," she replied ..... "not Manishevitz .....vot should I esk
for ?"
Abey answered, "You should esk for ah Martini....... Everybody
drinks Martini's now .... You don't esk for Manishevitz. ....Please
Sadie, say you vahnt ah Martini..... You'll like it. Okay ?"
With that, Sadie agreed that she would no longer ask for Manishevitz
wine, and the next time it would be Martini's for Sadie. That
evening at the club, when the waiter approached their table to take
their order for drinks, Sadie was well prepared. The meticulously
attired waiter asked, "Ma'am, may I bring you a cocktail ?"
Sadie was ready and proudly announced, "Yes, I'll have ah Martini."
"Dry ?" questioned the waiter.
"No," replied Sadie "tzvay iz gay-nuug."
**************
(Oy ! If I have to explain this one, it loses all it's flavor, but
I'll explain it anyhow. In Yiddish `drei' - pronounced like the
word `dry,' means three. `Tzvay iz gay-nuug' means two is enough.)

Peace in the Home is a Product of Effort
I have learned that if you upset your wife she nags you.
If you upset her even more you get the silent treatment.
Don't you think it's worth the extra effort?

I Think I Know the Fellow. . .
A guy runs out of a Las Vegas hotel and says to a stranger,
"Can you loan me two hundred bucks? My wife had a terrible
accident."
The stranger says, "If you need two hundred dollars, what are
you using to gamble with?"
The guy replies, "Oh, I've got gambling money."

I Can Believe This Too . .
Tax Day, April 15, was looming when an elderly lady
appeared at my desk at the IRS. She said she required
a thick stack of tax forms.
"Why so many?" I asked.
"My son is stationed overseas," she said. "He asked
me to pick them up."
"You shouldn't have to do this," I told her. "It's
the base commander's job to make sure the troops have
the forms they need."
"I know," she replied. "I'm the base commander's
mother."

Wisdom From Grandpa
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on
the kind of chick he marries.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when
they try to decide which one.

For Observant Jews
Fans have noticed that Britney Spears' new Kabbalah-inspired Hebrew tattoo
actually has the letters reversed, making it meaningless, proof once again
of how
hard it is to find a tattoo artist who graduated from a decent Hebrew
School.

Lets Get it Straight
On the Upper West Side of NYC lived an assimilated Jewish
man who was now a very militant atheist. But he sent his son
Morris to Trinity School because, despite its denominational
roots, it was a great school and completely secular.
After a month, the boy came home and said casually, "By the
way, Dad, I learned what Trinity means! It means 'The Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost.'"
The father could barely control his rage. He seized his son
by the shoulders and declared, "Morris, I'm going to tell you
something now and I want you never to forget it. Forget this
Trinity business. There is only one God... and we don't
believe in him!"
