    A man walked into a little corner shop with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the shopkeeper had put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the shopkeeper to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, ‘It’s because I don’t believe you are over 18. The robber said that he was, but the shop’s owner still refused to give it to him because he didn’t believe him.

    At this point, the robber took his driving licence out of his wallet and handed it to the shopkeeper who looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 18 and he put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his swag. The shopkeeper immediately called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he had seen on the licence.

    Police arrested the robber two hours later.

    A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.

    When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA, they decided to send it to the President.

    The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

    The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

    Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington, D.C., and, as usual, those turkeys deducted $95.00 in taxes

    >Traffic Camera<

    A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera.

    He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.

    Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.

    Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed.

    He tried a fourth time with the same result.

    He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail’s pace.

    Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

    TEACHER ARRESTED IN NEW YORK –

    A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy

    International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a

    ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

    At a morning press conference, the Attorney General Eric Holder said he

    believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not

    identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math

    instruction.

    ‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us’, the Attorney General said. ‘They derive

    solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of

    absolute values.’ They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to

    themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined that they belong to a common

    denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

    As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to

    every triangle’.

    When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, ‘If God had

    wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us

    more fingers and toes.’

    White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more

    intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that the

    Nobel Prize for Physics will follow—

    President Obama was disappointed and happened to mention the problem to the Israeli Ambassador. The Ambassador told him not to worry. He knew of a tailor in Israel that could make him a suit from this fine cloth.

    A few days later Yankel shows up at the White House. He measured the President and he measured the cloth and told him that not only would he make him a suit but a vest and an extra pair of pants to go with it.

    Stunned the President asked how this Israeli tailor could not only make him a suit but a vest and an extra pair of pants when the English and French tailors said that there was not enough material.

    The next joke is NOT a duplicate.

    The Bathtub Test

    During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director how he

    determines whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

    “Well,” said the director, “we fill up a bathtub,then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.”

    “Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”

    “No.” said the director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”

    While in Israel I found a great buy on a computer. It is a kosher computer called a DELLSHALOM.

    It was selling at such a good price that…well……… mine arrived today.

    If you or a friend are considering a kosher computer, you should know that there were some important upgrades and changes from the typical computer you are used to, such as:

    The cursor moves from right to left.

    It comes with two hard drives, one for ‘Fleyshik’ business software and one for ‘Milchik’ games.

    Instead of getting a “General Protection Fault” error, my PC now gets ‘Ferklempt’.

    The Chanukah screen savers include ‘Flying Dreidels’.

    The PC shuts down automatically at sundown on Friday evenings.

    After my computer dies, I have to dispose of it within 24 hours.

    The “Start” button has been replaced with a “Let’s go! I’m not getting any younger!” button.

    When disconnecting external devices from the back of my PC, I am instructed to “Remove the cable from the PC’s unten.”

    The multimedia player has been renamed to “Nu, so play my music already!”

    Internet Explorer has a spinning “Star of David” in the upper right corner.

    I hear “Hava Nagila” during startup.

    When running “scandisk,” it prompts with a “You want I should fix this?” message.

    When my PC is working too hard, I occasionally hear a loud “Oy Gevalt!”

    There is a “monitor cleaning solution” from Manischewitz that advertises that it gets rid of the “schmutz” on your monitor.

    After 20 minutes of no activity, my PC goes “Schluffen.”

    Computer viruses can now be cured with some matzo ball chicken soup.

    The Y2K problem has been replaced by “Year 5760-5761” issues.

    If you decide not to shut down the computer in the prescribed manner, the following message appears “You should be ashamed of yourself!”

    When Spellcheck finds and error it prompts “Is this the best you can do?”

    There were 2 young boys, one was Jewish and the other Christian.

    The Christian boy was unbelievable at math, but the Jewish one had a very hard time with it.

    The Jewish boy went to a day school while the non-Jew attended a very good Christian private school in the area.

    The Jewish mother knew that the Christian school had a great math program and she really wanted her son to improve his skills so she decided to send him to the Christian school.

    2 weeks passed and the young Jewish boy was extraordinary at math. Any porblem his mother gave him he could do it in the blink of an eye.

    She said to him, “Listen, I don’t understand you didn’t know any math when you were at the Jewish school and now that you’re at the new Christian school you’re amazing, what changed?”

    The boy responded, “Ima, once I saw that guy nailed to the addition sign I really sucked it up!!!”

    Moisha Rabinowitz in the late 1930s fled his native land of Germany.

    He sold all his assets and converted it to gold and then had 5 sets of solid gold false teeth made.

    When he arrived in New York the customs official was perplexed as to why anybody would have 5 sets of gold teeth.

    So Moisha explained: “We Orthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes for meat products and dairy products but I am so kosher and religious I also have separate sets of teeth.”

    The customs official shook his head and said, “Well that accounts for two sets of teeth. What about the other three?”

    Moisha then said “Vell us very religious Orthodox Jews use separate dishes for Passover, but I am so religious I have separate teeth, one for meat and one for dairy food.

    The customs official slapped his head and then said, “You must be a very religious man with separate teeth for food and dairy products and likewise for Passover. That accounts for four sets of teeth. What about the fifth set?”

    “Vell to tell you the truth, once in a while I like a ham sandwich.”

    Sometimes I think Maxine should run for president…

    She was right on with this one!

    Everyone concentrates on the problems we’re having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida

    Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It’s a win-win situation.

    + Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

    + Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.

    + Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

    Any other problems you would like for me to solve today? Yes,

    Think about these:

    1. Cows

    2. The Constitution

    3. The Ten Commandments

    C O W S

    Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls.. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

    T H E C O N S T I T U T I O N

    They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ………why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we ‘re not using it anymore.

    T H E 1 0 C O M M A N D M E N T S

    The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:

    You cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,’ and ‘Thou Shall Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians..It creates a hostile work environment.

    Also, Think about this: If you don’t want to forward this for fear of offending

    Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he

    visited one of the classes. They were in the middle

    of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The

    teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the

    discussion on the word ‘tragedy.’

    So our illustrious president asked the class for an example

    of a ‘tragedy.’

    One little boy stood up and offered : ‘If my best

    friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him,

    that would be a tragedy.’

    ‘No,’ said Obama, ‘that would be an accident.’

    A little girl raised her hand: ‘If a school bus

    carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.’

    ‘I’m afraid not,’ explained Obama. ‘That’s what we

    would call great loss.’

    The room went silent No other children volunteered..

    Obama searched the room. ‘Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?’

    Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised

    his hand. In a quiet voice he said:

    ‘If the plane carrying you and Mrs.Obama was struck by a

    ‘friendly fire’ missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.’

    ‘Fantastic!’ exclaimed Obama. ‘That’s right. And can

    you tell me why that

    would be tragedy?’

    ‘Well,’ says the boy, ‘It has to be a tragedy,

    because it certainly wouldn’t

    be a great loss…and it probably wouldn’t be an

    accident either.’

    A Catholic Priest, an Indian Doctor, a rich Chinese businessman and an

    Italian from New York were waiting one morning for a particularly slow

    group of golfers in front of them.

    The Italian from New York fumed, ‘What’s with those jerks? We’re waiting

    fifteen minutes between shots!’

    The Indian Doctor chimed in, ‘I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such poor

    golf!’

    The Chinese businessman called out ‘Move it, time is money’!!!

    The Catholic Priest said, ‘Here comes the greens keeper. Let’s have a word

    with him.’

    ‘Excuse me, Sir! Said the Catholic Priest, ‘What’s wrong with that group

    ahead of us?

    They’re rather slow, aren’t they?’

    The greens keeper replied, ‘Oh, yes. That’s a group of blind fire fighters.

    They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we

    always let them play for free anytime.’

    The group fell silent for a moment.

    The Catholic Priest said, ‘That’s so sad. I think I will say a special

    prayer for them tonight.’

    The Indian Doctor said, ‘Good idea. I’m going to contact my Ophthalmologist

    colleague and see if there’s anything that he might be able to do for them.’

    The Chinese bus inessman replied, ‘I think I’ll donate $50,000 to the fire

    fighters Union in honor of these brave souls’!!

    The Italian from New York said, ‘Why can’t they play at night?

    A Jew and a non-jew are traveling on a train together when suddenly the goy asks “Why are you Jews so smart?”

    The Jew is quiet for a moment and then says “its because of all the herring we eat.”

    A few hours later the Jew takes out some herring and starts to eat it.

    The goy asks “how much herring do you have?” and the jew answers “a dozen pieces”.

    “And how much do you want for a piece?”

    “20 kopecks” (a lot of money).

    The man hands the money over and the jew gives him a piece of herring.

    “He takes a bite and says suddenly “I could have bought this same herring in Moscow for a few

    kopecks”.

    To this the jew responds “see… your getting smarter already.”

    Two Jews, one old and one young, travel in a train in old Europe.

    The young Jew asks the Old Jew: -What time is it?

    The old Jew does not answer.

    After asking him 25 times, the young Jew seem to give up and asks the old Jew: – Tell me, why don’t you want to tell me what time it is?

    The old Jew answers: – Because then you are going to ask me where I am going to and I will have to answer that I am going to Zlabodka to visit my daughter Lea and you will certainly ask if she is single and I will have to say that she is single and you will certainly ask to meet her for a Shiduch and the last thing I want in my life is my Lea to marry someone who does not have money even to by himself a watch!

    Mahmoud Ahmedinijad, Iran’s latest President, called President Obama on the phone late one night.

    “I’ve had a remarkable dream, Mr. Obama”, he said, “and it’s something you should know about.”

    “Well Mr. Mindinajar, what was your dream all about?”, queried the President.

    “I dreamed that the USA had gone through an enlightening reformation”, he said, “and in front of every house was a huge banner.”

    “That’s intriguing, Mr. Mindinajar. Tell me, what did it say on these banners?”, asked Bush.

    “They all said the same thing: Allah is God, Allah is great”, stated Mahmoud, as if he could taste victory.

    “It’s quite odd that you should call me about a dream, as I had one the other night as well”, said Obama.

    “And what was your dream about, Mr Obama?

    “I dreamed that Iran had gone through a reformation as well, and on every house was a flagpole.”

    “So, what was on the flags?”, asked the Iranian.

    “I have no idea”, said Obama, “I can’t read Hebrew.”

    Hyman recently had a full medical check up. When he returned 3 weeks later after the exhaustive lab tests were complete, his doctor said he was doing “fairly well” for his age.

    Hyman was obviously a little concerned about that comment and so asked his doctor “Do you think I’ll live to be 80, doctor?”

    He replied, “Well, do you smoke or drink beer?”

    “Oh no”, Hyman replied, “I’ve never done either.”

    Then the doctor asked, “Do you eat grilled steaks or barbequed ribs?”

    Hyman replied, “No, I’ve heard that red meat is very unhealthy.”

    “Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf?” asked the doctor.

    “No I don’t,” Hyman replied.

    Then the doctor asked, “Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or mess have any sort of fun?”

    “No,” said Hyman, “I’ve done none of those things.”

    The doctor looked at Hyman and said, “Then why do you want to live to be 80?”

    Just another note about the above article mentioned in the orignal post

    Forget the whole CNN vs FOX vs MSNBC debate. We have our own headline battles, though more subtle.

    The woman detained was interviewed by the Jpost:

    Frenkel said that as the women unrolled the Torah scroll and began to prepare to read, officials from the Kotel Foundation arrived and demanded that they leave the premises.

    Frenkel said that the women agreed to roll up the Torah scroll and take it to the Robinsons Arch. But on their way out Frenkel, who was wearing a talit and was carrying the Torah, was seized by police.

    I was pushed into a nearby police station and transferred to the main police station at Yaffo Gate, she said.

    About 40 women who attended the prayer formed a procession and followed the police and Frenkel through the Old City to the Yaffo Gate where they congregated and sang songs until Frenkel was released.

    The Jewish headlines are helping to divide an already divided people desperate for some kind of unity to face external threats.

    You are making a mistake by saying

    “If you decide to pick Lakewood, then you are picking a town dominated by a 6,000+ member yeshiva, and where many residents are current or former members of the yeshiva. BMG’s influence comes with living in Lakewood”

    The fact is many of the 6000+ don”t want to pay the taxes they are paying so you can”t count them in the majority.

    OK so you guys want me to tackle this head on here i go.

    Azi wrote that he does not know what to answer to these things, well i do

    “Almost everything I’ve read about them makes them out to be mean and arrogant”

    Ha ha – Lets check this one out, ask any non Jew or orthodox Jew how many languages he can speak most can only speak one, Orthodox Jews can usually speak between 2-4.

    How many Non orthodox can list you Jewish history from 2000 years ago? so you will say it”s just that they don”t care, but i”ll call that on their part arrogant.

    Enter any Shul you got A few Talmidei Chachamim,[or call it Rabbi with a doctrine in Jewish law, History etc.] a few Doctors a few Lawyers a couple of accountants Computer programmers etc. etc..

    <NO I DON”T CALL THAT ARROGANT>

    You further wrote:

    “Orthodox jews generally are exempt from service, primarily because they (well, a significant minority of them) tend to riot if they don’t get what they want”

    About the army, The main question is Why do we need an army if None of the leaders know what Israel needs to be ?

    If Israel is like any other state, why do you need to stay in this land surrounded by many Arabs countries ?

    Why are they not going to another place in the world ?

    Why this land is more to Israelis than to the Palestinians ?

    Sometimes, we need to go to Lebanon

    but for WHAT ?

    We are here to create a very unique country.

    About the orthodox contribution: What can you say about Hatzolah ? Zaka ? Meir Panim ? Ezra Lamarpeh ? Ezer Letsion ? the Laniado Hospital in Netanya ? all the gmahims ? and all the others very big organizations who are helping EVERY DAY ALL KIND of Israelis !

    I think that they are contributing more to the country than the whole IDF !

    But if you will go and were the Kedushas Levis-Barditshivar ravs glasses you will see only good in klall Yisroel.

    The fact is there isn’t a nicer nation than Klall Yisroel.

    What do Non Jews and Secular people do regualy? you name it evry sin steal adultry etc…..

    The Jews are in Golus with these people do you expect them not to learn from their bad deeds?

    Open any Orthdox Jewish phone book check the Chesed and Gemach listings. then ask all the pople posting comments anti Frum if they ever did any good act, they most probbly will have to think hard.

    Sid and Mundo were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. “Sid,” asked Mundo, “Are there any Jews in Mexico?”

    I don’t know,” Mundo replied. “Why don’t we ask the waiter?”

    When the waiter came by, Mundo asked him, “Are there any Mexican Jews?”

    “I don’t know sir, let me ask,” the waiter replied, and he went into the kitchen. He returned in a few minutes and said, “No, sir. No Mexican Jews.”

    “Are you sure?” Mundo asked.

    “I will check again, sir.” the waiter replied and went back to the kitchen.

    While he was still gone, Sid said, “I cannot believe there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere.”

    When the waiter returned he said, “Sir, no Mexican Jews.”

    “Are you really sure?” Mundo asked again. “I cannot believe there are no Mexican Jews.”

    “Sir, I ask everyone,” the waiter replied exasperated. “We have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews, and grape Jews, but no one ever hear of Mexican Jews!”
