Happy Passover!


Pesach for Jews
A group of leading medical people have published data that indicate that
seder participants should NOT partake of both chopped liver and
charoses. The combination can lead to Charoses of the Liver.

Metamucil. The brand name, of course, is "Let My People Go".

 Morris the loudmouth mechanic was removing the  cylinder heads from the
motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael.

DeBakey, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service
manager to come take a look at his Mercedes.

Morris shouted across the garage, "Hey DeBakey! Is dat you? 'Come on
ova' here a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Morris the
mechanic was working on the car.

Morris straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked
argumentatively, "So Mr. Fancy Doctor, look at dis here work. I also
open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I
finish dis baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get da big
bucks, when you an' me is doing basically da same work?"

Dr. DeBakey leaned over and whispered to Morris the loudmouth mechanic.
"Try doing it with the engine running."

The Swiss in 38.7 seconds, the German in 37.8 seconds, the Italian in 38.1 seconds, and then came the turn of the Israeli ... the crowd waited, and waited ... SIX MINUTES!!! "What happened to you?" screamed his trainer when the Israeli finally arrived. Screamed the exhausted Israeli: "All right ... who's the wise guy who put a mezuzah on every gate? I had to stop and pray!"

Two orthodox Jews went to Pincus the tailor for new suits. "Listen, Pincus," one said, "the last suits you made for us were sort of gray. We want black suits, the darkest black cloth that we can get." "See this cloth?" Pincus said, fingering a bolt of fabric. "This is the stuff they make nuns' habits from. There ain't no blacker cloth." A few weeks later, the two men were walking down the street in their new suits when they passed two nuns. Impulsively, one of the men went up to the nuns and matched his suit against their habits. Becoming angry, he muttered something to his friend and they both walked off. "What did that man want?" one nun asked the other. "I don't know," she replied, "He looked at my garment, said something in Latin and left." "What did he say?" "He said, 'Pincus Fucktus'."

That's wonderful! She's going home at twelve o'clock! I'm so happy to hear that. That's wonderful news."

 A rabbi and priest were driving separate cars and had a collision. Although both cars were totaled, neither driver was injured. They got out and surveyed the scene and remarked on their great good fortune. "Surely a sign from God" said the priest. The rabbi agreed, then noticed in his car an unbroken bottle of Mogen David wine. "And this must be another sign," he said, "we must celebrate this miracle." Whereupon he uncorked the wine and handed it to the priest for a toast to their good fortune. The priest handed it back and the rabbi returned it for yet another celebratory drink. The priest handed the bottle back again and the rabbi replaced the cork and put the bottle away. "Aren't you going to have some?" asked the priest. "No, I think I'll just wait for the police" responded the rabbi.

He told them that the admitting computers were down so they would just have to wait. At that moment G-D intervened and said that he would speak to Satan to see if they could be temporarily housed in his domain until they could correct the computer error. Sure enough room was found and they all went down to their new temporary quarters. A few hours later G-d receives an urgent telephone call from Satan who tells him that he must take the Hadassah woman off his hands.

 new air conditioning system."


Dialogue while Moses is at the top of Sinai....

G-d: And remember Moses, in the laws of keeping Kosher, never cook a calf in its mother's milk. It is cruel. 

Moses: Ohhhhhh! So you are saying we should never eat milk and meat together.

G: No, what I'm saying is, never cook a calf in its mother's milk.

M: Oh, L-rd forgive my ignorance! What you are really saying is we should wait six hours after eating meat to eat milk so the two are not in our stomachs.

G: No, Moses, what I'm saying is, don't cook a calf in its mother's milk!!!

M: Oh, L-rd! Please don't strike me down for my stupidity! What you mean is we should have a separate set of dishes for milk and a separate set for meat and if we make a mistake we have to bury that dish outside....

G: Moses, do whatever the hell you want.......


An American tourist was riding in a taxi in Israel. As the taxi approached a red light, the tourist was shocked to see the driver drive straight through without even slowing down. Surprised as he was, he didn't say anything feeling himself a "guest" and not wanting to make waves. The trip continued without event until the next intersection. This time the light was green and, to the American's dismay, the cab driver brought the vehicle to a grinding halt. Unable to contain his
astonishment, he turns to the driver: "Listen", he says,"when you went through the red light, I didn't say anything. But, why, in G-d's name, are you stopping at a green light?" The Israeli driver looks at him as if the American was deranged: "Are you crazy?!", he shouts. "The other guy has a red light! Do you want to get us killed?"


Morris in Brooklyn lived in a big home with his pet dog that he loved for 12 years. His best and only companion. The dog died, and a heart broken Morris went to the Rabbi of his congregation and asked, "Rebbe, my dog is dead. Could you please offer a prayer for this faithful creature ? "
The Rebbe replied, "No, we cannot hold services for an animal in our synagogue, but nearby there is a new temple that opened, and no telling what they believe, maybe they can hold services for an animal." Morris said, " So I'll go see them now. Do you think $10,000 is enough to donate for the service ? " The Rebbe replied, " So why didn't you tell me the dog was Orthodox ?


A young orthodox couple, about to get married, are consulting with the Rebbe on the question of marital responsibilities and do's and don'ts. As they proceed with the discussion, the questions begin to deal with acceptable positions in which the soon-to-be-newlywed couple may engage in the ultmate expression of their physical desire for each other. Rabbi", asks the young man, "are we allowed to make love in a sitting position?" The Rabbi thinks a bit and replies in the affirmative. "Rabbi" he asks again, "can we make love in the spoon position?" Again the Rabbi thinks a moment and responds in the affirmative. The positions are beginning to become more and more complicated, yet in each case, the Rabbi responds affirmatively. Then, the young man says, "Rabbi, what about in the standing position. Are we allowed to make love standing up?" Without hesitation, the Rabbi says, "Oh no, my children, that is definitely not allowed!". "Why?", asks the young man. Why? Well, because making love standing up COULD lead to ...>dancing!!"


During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up... The rabbi, learned as he was in the Law and commentaries, didn't know what to do. His congregation suggested that he consult a housebound 98-year old man, who was one of the original founders of their temple. The rabbi hoped the elderly man would be able to tell him what the actual temple tradition was, so he went to the nursing home with a representative of each faction of the congregation. The one whose followers stood during Shema said to the old man, "Is the tradition to stand during this prayer?" The old man answered, "No, that is not the tradition." The one whose followers sat asked, "Is the tradition to sit during Shema?" The old man answered, "No, that is not the tradition." Then the rabbi said to the old man, "The congregants fight all the time, yelling at each other about whether they should sit or stand..." The old man interrupted, exclaiming, "THAT is our tradition!"
