November 28, 2010 4:17 am at 4:17 am #1118847RamchasParticipantThe shoemaker
In late August 1939, a man brings his shoes at the shoemaker.
Three days later, war is declared. Mobilized, he moved to the front, and he was taken prisoner. Liberated by the Russians in 45, he fought with an officer, which earned him ten years of Gulag. Traded by the Americans, he finds himself in the United States and settled there.
And now forty years later, he returned to France as a tourist. Of course, this man will see his street. It has changed much, except that the shoe repair store is still there. So out of curiosity, he enters and asks the old man behind the counter:
– How long have you been here for?
– Oh, my dear sir, since before the war!
– So is it to you that I gave my shoes to repair! It was late August 1939. Three days later I was mobilized …
He tells his whole story. And he adds:
– In fact, you may still have my shoes? It would be funny …
– Wait … I’ll see says the old man.
He lifts his door and down the basement. From below he shouts:
– What color are your shoes?
– Yellow!
– Are they square with brown laces?
– Yes!
– They’ll be ready on Thursday …

November 28, 2010 8:41 pm at 8:41 pm #1118854ronrsrMemberif this were a French cofferoom, and such jokes and false rumors were being told about Jews, we would be here complaining about the darn antisemites, telling demeaning stories about Jews.
November 28, 2010 9:21 pm at 9:21 pm #1118855HelpfulMemberRon, we wouldn’t care what they saidc about us.
November 28, 2010 9:22 pm at 9:22 pm #1118856popa_bar_abbaParticipantThese jokes wouldn’t make sense about Jews. Now, if the jokes were about us having long noses and ripping people off, we might get insulted. Especially about the ripping people off.
November 29, 2010 2:49 am at 2:49 am #1118857HomeownerMemberronrsr, I agree. Some people here should take a visit to the Rue des Rosiers in Paris and tell these jokes there.
November 29, 2010 3:09 am at 3:09 am #1118858☕️coffee addictParticipantron, the difference is where making fun of a nationality not a religion

Answer: The French Flag!!
November 29, 2010 5:37 pm at 5:37 pm #1118863AinOhdMilvadoParticipantOn the third day of the Six Day War, France surrendered.
November 29, 2010 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm #1118864HomeownerMemberThere are plenty of Jews in France. Enough with the lashon harah, already.
November 29, 2010 7:06 pm at 7:06 pm #1118865cshapiroMemberHomeowner…thanks for ur holier than thou attitude….it must be fun to preach to the choir…
November 29, 2010 7:23 pm at 7:23 pm #1118866HelpfulMemberWe need to rescue the Yidden in France – before the French surrender.
November 29, 2010 10:08 pm at 10:08 pm #1118867HomeownerMembercshapiro, huh? Who is “preaching to the choir?” Or do you not know what that phrase means? If I were preaching to the choir, then everyone would agree with me which is certainly not the case.
Take a tip from someone who already went to college. You do not need a “French joke” to make your presentation. For all you know, your professor will not like it and then you’ve lost him. You never know the complete background of those listening.
November 29, 2010 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm #1118868HelpfulMemberHow many Frenchmen does it take to change a lightbulb?
November 29, 2010 11:22 pm at 11:22 pm #1118869cshapiroMemberits not my first presentation and my professor enjoys tasteful humor, she would appreciate it.
if u dont have an answer to the question, and or u think its loshon hara, then run fast in the opposite direction
Thank you!
EDITED
November 29, 2010 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm #1118871ronrsrMembermbachur, why is it OK to make fun of a nationality and not OK to make fun of religion? Both are composed of people with feelings.

“mbachur, why is it OK to make fun of a nationality…”
It is OK to make fun of the French because they have no concept of Hakaras HaTov. Tens of thousands of American boys died fighting to liberate france. If not for the U.S. the frenchies (who survived) would be speaking german. – and yet, the french not only have no hakaras hatov, they are anti-American.
Additionally, after the Six Day War, when they got pressure from the yishmaelim, they cut off arms supplies to Eretz Yisrael.
November 30, 2010 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm #1118873HomeownerMemberAinOhdMilvado, Have you ever visited France other than changing planes at CDG?
November 30, 2010 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm #1118874popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt is ok to make fun of the french because they are rotten horrible people, who do not have a good midda among them.
Yet, they are human and tzelem elokim. We should use them as an example of where humanity can fall. Indeed, that is the essence of our greatness, that we have the opportunity to sink, but we rise.
November 30, 2010 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm #1118875so rightMemberMust one visit Germany to judge the Nazis?
November 30, 2010 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm #1118876anon for thisParticipantPaging Dr. Godwin…call for you on line one.
December 1, 2010 4:26 pm at 4:26 pm #1118878TheGoqParticipantHow Can anyone say the French have no gratitude ever hear of the Statue of Liberty? a present from the French
December 1, 2010 7:55 pm at 7:55 pm #1118879AinOhdMilvadoParticipantTheGoq…
The Statue of Liberty was… when???
I’m more likely to acknowledge French toast and French fries!
December 1, 2010 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #1118880ronrsrMemberLafayette, we have arrived!
(how soon we forget)
December 2, 2015 3:49 am at 3:49 am #1118881TheGoqParticipantThis was my first posting 5 years ago yesterday seems like a lifetime ago.
December 2, 2015 4:30 am at 4:30 am #1118882malei daas torahMemberThe last war that the french won was the French Revolution.
The other day a jew and an arab got into a fight. The French army surrendered.
(both from Jackie Mason)
December 2, 2015 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm #1118883nfgo3MemberThese jokes are almost as funny as Jew-jokes. And why did anyone want to revive a 5-year old disgraceful thread so soon after a terrorist attack on Paris?
December 2, 2015 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #1118884TheGoqParticipantnfgo it was my first post my 5 year anniversary was 2 days ago
December 2, 2015 10:21 pm at 10:21 pm #1118885👑RebYidd23ParticipantAnd some of these jokes are Jew jokes.
December 2, 2015 11:59 pm at 11:59 pm #1118886screwdriverdelightParticipantAnd why did anyone want to revive a 5-year old disgraceful thread so soon after a terrorist attack on Paris?
You make it sound like we should have more respect for the French because of the attack.

“If this were a French coffee room, and such jokes and false rumors
were being told about Jews” – I think that’s as far as that needs to go.
December 27, 2015 12:25 pm at 12:25 pm #1118888nfgo3MemberTo scared driver delight: Pay attention to your davening. In my nusach, after putting on tefillin, we read that we should treat others as we want to be treated. That applies even to the French.
December 27, 2015 1:26 pm at 1:26 pm #1118889JosephParticipantnfgo, no it does not apply to them. It only applies to Acheinu Bnei Yisroel.
December 27, 2015 1:45 pm at 1:45 pm #1118890TheGoqParticipantI await your apology nfgo i explained why i revived this thread (it was my very first post and i revived it on my 5 year anniversary) and as you can see i defended the french 5 years ago and did not join in the stereotyping.
