June 25, 2012 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm #1202248zichmichMemberItzik stopped at his local gas station and after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole. The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road.
“I can’t stand this,” said Itzik tossing the can into a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.
“Hold it, hold it,” he said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here with all this digging and refilling?”
“We work for the Union and we’re just doing our job,” one of the men said.
“But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You’re not accomplishing anything. Aren’t you wasting the taxpayers’ money?”
“You don’t understand,” one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow.
“Normally there are three of us: me, Shmuel and Chaim. I dig the hole, Shmuel sticks in the tree and Chaim, here, puts the dirt back. but we here are do’in our job because Oh No; we ai’nt going to lose a day’s pay because Shmuel did’nt show up!

June 25, 2012 7:46 pm at 7:46 pm #1202250zichmichMemberRachel goes to The Abrahamavitz Farm and asks David, the manager, if they have any vacancies. David tells her that the only job available is for a part-time lemon picker. Rachel says she’ll take the job.
After David asks her some questions about her education and previous jobs, he tells her, “You’re really far too qualified for such a lowly position.”
“But I would still like the job,” says Rachel. “I would be very good at it.”
“Do you have any experience in picking lemons?” David asks her.
“You bet,” replies Rachel. “I’ve been divorced three times.”

June 26, 2012 4:15 pm at 4:15 pm #1202253zichmichMemberReporters CNN Journalist Christianne Amanpour and Former CBS Journalist Dan Rather, and an Israeli sergeant were all captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.
Dan Rather said, “Well, I’m a Texan, so I’d like one last bowlful of hot spicy chili.” The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, “Now I can die content.”
Christianne Amanpour said, “I’m a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what’s about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.” The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Amanpour dictated some comments. She then said, “Now I can die happy.”
The leader turned and said, “And now, Mr. Israeli tough guy, what is your final wish?”
“Kick me,” said the soldier.
“What?” asked the leader? “Will you mock us in your last hour?”
“No, I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me,” insisted the Israeli.
So the leader shoved him into the open and kicked him.
The soldier went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from under his flack jacket, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he jumped to his knapsack, pulled out his carbine and sprayed the terrorists with gunfire. In a flash, all terrorists were either dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the soldier was untying Rather and Amanpour, they asked him, “Why didn’t you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you first?”
“What?” replied the Israeli, “And have you two schnooks report that I was the aggressor?!”
June 26, 2012 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #1202254zichmichMemberSometime in the 1970s a shipment of meat arrives in a town in the Soviet Union . The townspeople line up at the town store to wait to be given their rations. After about an hour, a man comes out of the store and announces, “Comrades, I’m sorry to tell you, but there isn’t enough meat for everyone, so the Jews have to leave.” The Jews in the line leave grumbling.
About an hour later, the man comes out of the store and announces, “Comrades, I’m sorry to tell you this, but there isn’t enough meat for everyone, so anyone who is not a member of the Communist party will have to leave.” More grumbling as the non-Party members depart.
Another hour goes by and the man comes out of the store again and announces, “Comrades, I’m sorry to tell you this, but there isn’t enough meat for everyone in the line, so anyone who wasn’t a member of the Party before 1956 has to leave.” More grumbling as all the younger Party members leave. A few old people remain in the line.
Another hour goes by. It’s now getting dark and it’s cold. The same man comes out of the store and announces, “Comrades, I’m sorry to tell you this, but there isn’t any meat. Go home.”
One old lady in the line turns to her neighbor and says, “See? It’s like I told you. The Jews always get the best treatment!”
June 26, 2012 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #1202255zichmichMemberSadie has a problem so she goes to see a very wise Rabbi. She asks him, “Two members of our shul, Bernard and Jacob, are both in love with me, Rabbi and I don’t know which one to choose. Who will be the lucky man?”
Rabbi Levy replies, “Jacob will marry you, Sadie, but Bernard will be the lucky man.”

He looks around and sees a man yelling down from the 54th floor of a building, “HELP HELP!!!” Yankel yells up to the man “What’s the problem?” The man yells back, “It’s my mother-in-law, she wants to jump out the window!”
Yankel asks, “so what’s the problem, let her!”
The man yells back: “The window is JAMMED!!!”
June 29, 2012 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm #1202257zichmichMemberMy dear son,
Just a few lines to let you know that I am still alive. I am writing this letter slowly because I know yocan’t read fast. You won’t know the house when you come home. We’ve moved.
It was a lot of trouble moving- the most difficult part was the bed. You see the man would’nt take it in the taxi. It would’nt have been too bad if your father had’nt been sleeping in it at the time. I am sorry that we are so far together. I wish we were closer apart. About your father he has a lovely new job. He has five hundred men under him. He’s cutting grass at the cemetery.
My friend died and is doing fine. Another friend has the mumps and is having a swell time. He’s at death’s door and the doctor is trying to pull him through.
There was a washing machine in the new house when we moved in, but it’s not working too good. Last week I put four shirts into it, pulled the chain and have’nt seen the shirts since.
Your sister Barbara had a baby this morning. I have’nt heard whether it’s a boy or a girl, so I don’t know if you are a aunt or a uncle. We got a letter from the undertaker yesterday. He said that if the last installment was’nt paid on your grandmother’s grave within seven days, up she comes.
I sent you a coat by express, so I cut off the buttons to make it lighter. If you want them they are in the pocket.
I started out to Ohio, to visit you. I saw a sign that said “This will take you to Ohio.” I sat on it for three hours, but the thing did’nt move.
you loving mother
P.S. I was going to send you $10.00, butI had already sealed the envelope.

July 2, 2012 9:29 pm at 9:29 pm #1202259Shticky GuyParticipantA new study says there is no connection between breathing recirculated air on a plane and catching a cold. There is, however, a strong connection between breathing recirculated air on a plane and losing your luggage

July 5, 2012 1:25 pm at 1:25 pm #1202262ChortkovParticipantYou heard about the Chassidisher from Boro Park who chucked out all his electrical appliances – his laptop, computer, blackberry, mobile, toaster, microwave, fridge and even his air conditioning unit.

July 8, 2012 4:10 am at 4:10 am #1202270zichmichMemberMoishe the Jeweler prided himself on putting customer service above all else. One day he overheard a clerk saying to a tourist who looked like she could have spent a pretty penny, “No, ma’am, we haven’t had any for some weeks now, and it doesn’t look as if we’ll be getting any soon.”
Alarmed by what was being said, Moishe rushed over to the customer who was walking out the door and said, “That isn’t true, ma’am. Of course, we’ll have some soon. In fact, we placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago.”
Moishe then pulled the clerk aside and growled, “Never, never, never, never say we don’t have something. If we don’t have it, say we ordered it and it’s on its way. Now, what was it she wanted?”
The clerk smiled and said …
“Rain.”

July 8, 2012 4:58 pm at 4:58 pm #1202273zichmichMemberShalom, who had never seen train tracks in his life and had never ever seen a train, chose to walk right between the two iron tracks. After about five minutes, he saw a giant machine bearing down directly upon him.
Toot toot! The train whistled. The conductor waved frantically at shalom as he tried to stop the train. At the last moment Shalom quickly jumped out of the way and the train hurtled by missing him by a hair. So fast was the enormous machine traveling that shalom was knocked down by the rush of air accompanying the speeding train. As he picked himself up all he could see was the enormous black beast fleeing down the track, mocking him with a shrill toot toot.
July 8, 2012 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm #1202274zichmichMemberMorty went back a month later to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing function is near 100%. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”

“Why?”

July 8, 2012 5:04 pm at 5:04 pm #1202277zichmichMemberIzzie calls his mother and announces excitedly that he just met the woman of his dreams.
His mother has an idea: “Why don’t you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to our place for a home-cooked meal?”
“Ma, the evening was a disaster,” he moans.
“Why?” asks his mother.
“She refused to cook.”
July 8, 2012 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm #1202278zichmichMemberSelma accompanied her husband Morty to the doctor’s office. After the check-up, the doctor took Selma aside and said, “If you don’t do the following, your husband will surely die.”
1.”Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast and send him off to work in a good mood.”
2.”At lunch time, make him a warm, nutritious meal and put him in a good frame of mind before he goes back to work.”
3.”For dinner, fix an especially nice meal and don’t burden him with household chores.”

July 8, 2012 5:06 pm at 5:06 pm #1202279zichmichMemberThere were three men: one Scottish, one Irish, and one Jewish. Every day they went to work. They were builders, working on the top of a building.
One day, the Scottish man pulls out his lunch and says “TUNA! I hate TUNA! If my wife gives me tuna one more time I’m gonna jump off this building!”
The Irish man says “EGG! I hate EGG! If my wife gives me egg one more time I’m gonna jump off this building!”
The Jewish man says “HUMOUS! I hate Humous! If my wife gives me humous one more time I’m gonna jump off this building!”

The Irish man says “EGG! That’s it!” and jumps off the building.
The Jewish man says “HUMOUS! That’s it!” and jumps off the building.

When he got to the airline counter, he presented his ticket to Tel Aviv. As he gave the agent his luggage, he said, “I’d like you to send my green suitcase to New York, and my black suitcase to Boston.”
The confused agent said, “I’m sorry, we can’t do that.”
“Really??? I am so relieved to hear you say that because that’s exactly what you did to my luggage last year!”

Hope zichmich doesn’t feel we’re taking advantage here. Making demands on his time and not contributing.

July 18, 2012 11:37 pm at 11:37 pm #1202287Boro Park GirlMemberPronouncing English
Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation — think of Psyche!
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough —
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!
July 18, 2012 11:51 pm at 11:51 pm #1202288Boro Park GirlMemberIt is proven that the celebration of birthdays is healthy. Statistics show that those people who celebrate the most birthdays become the oldest.
July 18, 2012 11:53 pm at 11:53 pm #1202289Boro Park GirlMemberTwo statisticians were travelling in an airplane from LA to New York. About an hour into the flight, the pilot announced that they had lost an engine, but don’t worry, there are three left.
However, instead of 5 hours it would take 7 hours to get to New York. A little later, he announced that a second engine failed, and they still had two left, but it would take 10 hours to get to New York.
Somewhat later, the pilot again came on the intercom and announced that a third engine had died. Never fear, he announced, because the plane could fly on a single engine.
However, it would now take 18 hours to get to new York. At this point, one statistician turned to the other and said, “Gee, I hope we don’t lose that last engine, or we’ll be up here forever!”
July 18, 2012 11:56 pm at 11:56 pm #1202290Boro Park GirlMemberThe results of statistics

2. 80 percent of employed men wear spectacles
3. Work stuffs up your eyesight
July 19, 2012 12:12 am at 12:12 am #1202291Boro Park GirlMemberFun things to do on the first day of class
This is for entertainment purposes only. We do not advise that you do any of these things on the first day of class or for that matter, on any day of class.
Sit in the front row and spend the lecture filing your teeth into sharp points.
Sit in the front and color in your textbook.
When the professor calls your name in roll, respond “that’s my name, don’t wear it out!”
Wear earmuffs. Every few minutes, ask the professor to speak louder.
Leave permanent markers by the dry-erase board.
Squint thoughtfully while giving the professor strange looks. In the middle of lecture, tell him he looks familiar and ask whether he was ever in your father’s class.
Ask whether the first chapter will be on the test. If the professor says no, rip the pages out of your textbook.
Become entranced with your first physics lecture, and declare your intention to pursue a career in measurements and units.
Sing your questions.
Speak only in rhymes and hum during class.
When the professor calls roll, after each name scream “THAT’S MEEEEE! Oh, no, sorry.”
Insist in a Southern drawl that your name really is Wuchen Li. If you actually are Chinese, insist that your name is Vladimir Fernandez O’Reilly.
Page through the textbook scratching each picture and sniffing it.

A cousin has supplied you with the only known photograph of Remus, showing him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture are the words:
“Remus Starr: Horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison, 1885. Escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged, 1889.”
Pretty grim situation, right? But let’s revise things a bit. We simply crop the picture, scan in an enlarged image and edit it with image processing software so that all that is seen is a head shot.
Next, we rewrite the text:
“Remus Starr was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad.
Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.”

Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for little Johnny. The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different.
Little Johnny said, ‘Because I’m not an Obama fan.’
The teacher asked, ‘Why aren’t you an Obama fan?’
Johnny said, ‘Because I’m a Republican.’
The teacher asked him why he’s a Republican.
Little Johnny answered, ‘Well, my Mom’s a Republican and my Dad’s a Republican, so I’m a Republican.’
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, ‘If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?’
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, ‘That would make me an Obama fan.
