A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her, “No.” The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, “Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through – don’t be
upset. It won’t be long now.”
Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout for candy. When told she couldn’t have any, she began to cry. The mother said, “There, there, Monica, don’t cry – only two more aisles to go and then we’ll be checking out.”
When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there’d be no gum purchased. The mother said serenely, “Monica, we’ll be through this check out stand in 5 minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap.”
The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. “I couldn’t help noticing how patient you were with little Monica,” he began. The mother replied, “I’m Monica – my little girl’s name is Tammy.”

A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over.
The officer handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when the man asked, “Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don’t think it’s fair – there were plenty of other cars around me who were going just as fast, so why did *I* get the ticket?”
“Ever go fishing?” the policeman suddenly asked the man.
“Ummm, yeah…” the startled man replied.
The officer grinned and added, “Ever catch *all* the fish?”
A man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains just became too much and he could go no farther.
He stuck his thumb out, but after 3 hours hadn’t gotten a single person to stop. Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled over and offered him a ride. Of course, the bike wouldn’t fit in the car. The owner of the Corvette found a piece of rope lying by the highway and tied it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and told the man that if he was going too fast, to honk the horn on his bike and that he would slow down.
Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them. Not to be outdone, the Corvette pulling the bike took off after the other. A short distance down the road, the Corvettes, both going well over 120 mph, blew through a speed trap.
The police officer noted the speeds from his radar gun and radioed to the other officer that he had two Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. He then relayed, “…and you’re not going to believe this, but there’s guy on a 10 speed bike honking to pass.”
The phone rings at KGB headquarters.
“Hello?”
“Hello, is this KGB?”
“Yes. What do you want?”
“I’m calling to report my neighbor Yankel Rabinovitz as an enemy of the State.
He is hiding undeclared diamonds in his firewood.”
“This will be noted.”
Next day, the KGB goons come over to Rabinovitz’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no diamonds, swear at Yankel Rabinovitz and leave.
The phone rings at Rabinovitz’s house. “Hello, Yankel! Did the KGB come?”
“Yes.”
“Did they chop your firewood?”
“Yes, they did.”
“Okay, now it’s your turn to call. I need my vegetable patch plowed.”
A fire started on some grasslands near a farm. The county fire department was
called to put out the fire. The fire was more than the county fire department
could handle. Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer bunch be called.
Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfit would be of any assistance,
the call was made.
The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight
towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped!
The firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in
all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the
blaze into two easily-controlled parts.
Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department’s
work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the
spot he presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000. A local news reporter
asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds.
“That ought to be obvious, ” he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. “The first thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!”
ACTUAL ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE BY IN-FLIGHT ATTENDANTS….
BEFORE TAKE OFF:
“To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. Actually, it works just like every other seat belt on the planet. If you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.”
and:
“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, or someone who is acting like a small child, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two such persons, decide now which one you love more.”
SHORTLY BEFORE ARRIVAL:
“Weather at our destination is 50 degrees, with some broken clouds; but they’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your travel money, more than this airline.”
ON THE GROUND, AFTER AN EXCEEDINGLY BUMPY LANDING:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash’ and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.”
ON ARRIVAL:
“We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you’ll think of us here at this airline.”
cb1, you got some good ones there!!!
By the way, the Toyota jokes are dedicated to my dear Uncle CR, who loves his car!

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. “Wake up, son.
It’s time to go to school!”
“But why, Mom? I don’t want to go.”
“Give me two reasons why you don’t want to go.”
“Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!”
“Oh, that’s no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready.”
“Give me two reasons why I should go to school.”
“Well, for one, you’re 52 years old. And for another, you’re the
Principal!”

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Chaim and his wife Shira listened to the instructor declare, “It’s essential that husbands and wives are aware of the things that are important to each other.”
He addressed the men, “Can you describe your wife’s favourite flower?”
Chaim leaned over to his wife and asked in a whisper, “Kemach All-Purpose, isn’t it?”

Flying on Obama’s private plane, Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said,
‘You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make
somebody very happy.
Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, ‘I could throw ten $100 bills out
of the window and make ten people very happy.
Michelle added, ‘That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills
out of the window and make a hundred people very happy..
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot,
‘Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window
and make 56 million people very happy.’
Onkeles in parshas vayishlach translates “aluf” as “rabba”. It seems that all of Eisav’s wives were Rabbas! Did they get smicha from YCT?
keep em coming – rebmendle!!
I heard this joke from a shiur by Rabbi Tatz that I downloaded. It’s possible you’ve heard it, but here goes.
There were 2 women living in a shtetel who each had a daughter in shidduchim. There were no bochrim in town, so what did they do? They imported 2 bochrim from a yeshiva. The day came for the bochrim to arrive. They both went to the train station, and there’s only one bochur standing on the tarmac. So of course, they each want the bachur for their own daughter. They argued back and forth. Finally, they decided to go to the town rav. They brought the bochur in and explained the story. The rav said: I have a great idea. We’ll cut the bochur in half, so both daughters can get married. One woman protested: no we cant cut him in half. The other exclaimed: yeah, cut him in half, that’s only fair.The Rav said:we have found the mother-in-law !!!!
Jewish telegram:
” Start worrying immediately…details later”
hudi,
that reminds me of another spoof of a torah story: There is a story (which I think is from Chazal if I’m not mistaken, please someone correct me if I’m wrong) that there were 2 brothers who owned adjacent fields. One was poor and had a large family, the other was rich and had no family.
One day the rich brother decided that being that his brother has more mouths to feed he needs more. So at harvest time he went in the middle of the night (so as not to embarras his poor brother) and took some of his own produce and brought it to his brothers field. The poor brother had similar feelings. He said I have been benched with a large family but my brother has not been. Let him at least have some extra produce to somewhat make up for what he’s lacking. In the middle of the night he went and brought some of his own produce to his brother’s field.
This went on for years until one time they met each other while carrying the goods. They each realized what the other had been doing and embraced each other with immense joy and love. On that spot where they embraced, the Bais HaMikdosh would later be built.
The spoof:
Same 2 brothers one rich with no family, one poor with large family. Only in this story the poor one decided that since he has so many mouths to feed he deserves more than his brother, so he went nightly to his brother’s field and stole some produce. The rich brother similarly said – my brother doesn’t deserve a large family AND lots of produce; if I don’t have a family at least let me get some extra produce to make up for it. He too went nightly to steal some produce from his brother.
This went on for years until one time they met each other while carrying the goods. They each realized what the other had been doing and they attacked and killed each other. On that very spot, the Israeli Knesset would later be built.
An applicant was filling out a job application. When he came
to the question, “Have you ever been arrested?” he wrote,
“No.”
The next question, intended for people who had answered in
the affirmative to the previous question, was “Why?”
The applicant answered it anyway: “Never got caught.”
I think Hudi’s joke was more a spoof on that story with Shloime Hamelech and the babies…. the real mother begged for the child not to be cut in halfn but rather given to the other woman.
Thats when S’H knew she was the real mother….
Now that’s funny, Blinky. Be sure to tell that one on your next date. Keep the applause one for after shevah brachos..way after sheva brachos.
On 2nd thought, keep that one for when you go out with your other sis-in-laws. They’ll love it!
They each realized what the other had been doing and they attacked and killed each other.
Now, how did they manage to do that?!
blueberry,
I have a better question – how does anyone know the story if both ended up being dead?
excellent forensic work
charlie – Mr.Brown was hiding in the bushes as the story unfolded and recounted the tale to his children. He called it “The Mystery Story” and always ended with, “How does anyone know the story if both were killed…?”
His children passed it on to their children, their children to their children…..until grandchild Charlie Brown posted the story on YW and Blueberrymuffin solved the mystery!
THE END
How does blueberrymuffin know this?
Now, that’s the mystery!
Does anyone know the original source of the story that charlie brown posted? (the first one. Not the seconed 🙂 )
Elementary my dear blueberrymuffin,
you are distantly related to charlie brown
Of course not. One of the brothers was sent back to this world as a dybbuk to atone for his heinous sin. He told it to Rav CENSORED
hey long lost cousin blueberry! there will be a family chanuka party for all descendants of the original Mr. Brown tomorrow night. Please come and bring lots of baked – errr fried – donuts.
squeak,
and now the mystery is how you know what the dybbuk told Rav Censored. hmm, could you be he?
if your sitting on a plane and the guy sitting next to you’s name is mohamed abu jali, GET OFF!!!
hey long lost cousin blueberry! there will be a family chanuka party for all descendants of the original Mr. Brown tomorrow night.
Personally, I wasn’t aware that this poster was part of our family. But then, you weren’t aware of some of my family members either. LINK What kind of brothers are we if we don’t even know the same relatives? And how comoe I wasn’t invited to the party? I assume it’s tonight- I’ll be there.
squeak,
and now the mystery is how you know what the dybbuk told Rav Censored. hmm, could you be he?
No mystery there. It was all on Youtube.
frim- thats before or after takeoff:)
Charlie – aw shuks! I think I missed the party!But did you at least discover any more long-lost Brown relatives?
squeak,
I assumed Chevy had told you about the party so I didn’t think of inviting you, sorry. Looking forward to seeing you there tonight (Wednesday Zos Chanuka). But you are correct that we should be better brothers and get together more often in real life and not just in the CR.
blueberry,
You didn’t miss it. Its Wednesday night at Chevy’s house.
Not so, I just called and she has no idea about it. Not to worry, I am making a party tonight in a local restaurant in my town (you know where) and you are cordially invited, should you find yourself with no other party to attend.
Dov told me its at Chevy’s house. Weird. Either he was playing a trick on me or you are.
Why would you think that? Have I ever been known to play tricks on nice people?
ummm, do u really want me to publicly talk about some of the tricks you’ve played on nice people? I realize that you’ve grown up since then but still.
charlie-
We will have two agree to disagree on two points in your post:
1) The definition of “nice people”
2) Your assertion that I have “grown up since then”
WIKILEAKS SECURITY
do you mind starting a new post in the CR for all your family reminicences, and leave this feed STRICTLY for JOKES.
thanks very much
Welcome to the coffeeroom.
1) If we forced this thread to stay on topic, it would be the only one of its kind
2) It is a joke
it definitely is a joke. You know yourself that you’ve at least somewhat grown up since then.
Good one 🙂
Okay, charlie an squeak – I think I now finally believe that you two are really brothers! Did you always know each other’s identity?
do you mind starting a new post in the CR for all your family reminicences, and leave this feed STRICTLY for JOKES.
thanks very much
horrified – I happen to find their exchange hilarious!
blueberry,
will you find it more hilarious or less hilarious if you find out that we aren’t brothers after all?
I’d find it VERY dissapointing!
blueberry, don’t worry.
I just hope that the place where charlie and I finally meet will be the place of the future beis hamikdosh and not of the Knesset.
