I can definitely toot my own horn!!

Shmuel and his long suffering wife Golda are lining up in their local bank when, oy vey, two gonifs (thiefs) run into the bank. Each is wearing a handkerchief around his mouth and nose and each has is wielding a gun.

One of them points his gun at the customers and shouts out, “Listen all of you, stop screaming or else!”

There is instant silence. His colleague then runs over to a cashier and yells at him, “put all the money you have in your till on the counter.”

The cashier immediately complies and the gonif starts to fill up his sack with the money. But as he’s doing this, his handkerchief slips off.

As he repositions his handkerchief, he says to the cashier, “I’m sorry to do this, but you must have seen my face.” He then shoots him.

Then turning to the now fear stricken customers, he says, “I hope no one else saw my face.”

After a few moments of silence, a voice is heard. It’s Golda’s. She shouts out, “I think my husband Shmuel might have caught a glimpse of you.”

The History of the Air Conditioner

The three Goldberg brothers, Norman, Hyman, and Maximillian invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner.

The 3 brothers walked into old man Henry Ford’s office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that 3 gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.

Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.

The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them 3 million dollars for the patent.

The brothers refused saying they would settle for 2 million but they wanted the recognition by having a label “The Goldberg Air-Conditioner” on the dashboard of each car that it was installed in.

Now old man Ford was more than just a little bit anti-Semitic, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldbergs’ name on 2 million Ford cars.

They haggled back and forth for about 2 hours and finally agreed on 4 million dollars and that just their first names would be shown.

And so, even today, all Ford air-conditioners show on the controls the names “Norm”, “Hi”, and “Max”.
