"Guidelines to Being Jewish"
E-mail

If you can't say something nice, say it in Yiddish.

If it tastes good, it's probably not kosher.

No one leaves a Jewish wedding hungry; but then again, no one leaves with a hangover.

After the sixth day, G~d created Loehmann's.

Why spoil a good meal with a big tip?

Twenty percent off is a bargain; fifty percent off is a mitzvah.

Israel is the land of milk and honey; Florida is the land of milk of magnesia.

The High Holidays have absolutely nothing to do with marijuana.

Always whisper the names of diseases.

If you don't eat, it will kill me.

Anything worth saying is worth repeating a thousand times.

Never take a front-row seat at a bris.

Prune Danish is an acquired taste.

Next year in Jerusalem. The year after that, how about a nice cruise?

Never leave a restaurant empty-handed.

Spring ahead, fall back, winter in Miami Beach.

Before you read the menu, read the prices.

According to Jewish dietary law, pork and shellfish may be eaten only in Chinese restaurants.

If you're going to whisper at the movies, make sure it's loud enough for everyone else to hear.

No meal is complete without leftovers.

What business is a yenta in? Yours.

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. But if you can afford it, make sure you tell everybody what you paid.

Laugh now, but one day you'll be driving a big Cadillac and eating dinner at four in the afternoon.

Very funny, thanks. (Even if it might've been posted in 'General Interest, Humor' instead of 'News/Activism, Political Humor'. ;-)

She's a humor writer who looks like Lillian Hellman, only much uglier. She appears on the Ad Council's "I Am An American" post-9/11 propaganda TV spots, proclaiming uniquely and a` la Saul Steinberg, "I'm a New Yorker."

LOL( im not Jewish but I can tell a Jewish joke can't I I'm a strong supporter of Israel and no anti semite so....) a Jewish and a Catholic beggar are sitting on a bench in Mexico City each has a hat to collect money with a star of david and a cross on them respectively. So people pass by and the Catholic gets tons of donations while the Jewish guy gets none so finally one guy says to the Jewish guy "Look this is a Catholic country your not going to get any donations with that hat" both beggars look at him and say " don't tell us how to run our buisness".
