Once upon a time, a powerful Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai. After a year, only three applied for the job: a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish Samurai.
Demonstrate your skills! commanded the Emperor.
The Japanese samurai stepped forward, opened a tiny box and released a fly. He drew his samurai sword and *Swish!* the fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two!
What a feat! said the Emperor. Number Two Samurai, show me what you do.
The Chinese samurai smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a fly. He drew his samurai sword and *Swish! *Swish!* The fly fell to the floor neatly quartered.
That is skill! nodded the Emperor. How are you going to top that, Number three Samurai?
The Jewish samurai, Yoku Cohen, stepped forward, opened a tiny box releasing one fly, drew his samurai sword and *Swoosh!* flourished his sword mightily, but the fly was still buzzing around!
In disappointment, the Emperor said, What kind of skill is that?? The fly isnt even dead.
Dead, replied Cohen in contempt. Dead is easy. Now circumcision, that takes real skill.
Oh hello Yaelle, I remember you from interactions long ago. Having grown up in a largely Jewish community, I have a great appreciation for the Jewish people, and even lived in Israel for many years. May the Lord bless!

I’m also Jewish, and I happen to love that joke...it shows the intelligence of the rabbi.
To each his (or her) own.
Best joke of the thread.
This is why I have the utmost respect for the Israeli army (IDF).
I know what you mean. Unlike a lot of American militarized cops, The IDF and police behave like actual humans.
bkmk
Thanks!
There’s another version of that joke that goes:
A Rabbi, a Priest and an Imam walk into a bar, and the bartender says “what is this, a joke?”
That was a good one! I forwarded it to a friend in Baltimore.
>> Found it offensive.
OK, forget the religion - let’s try it this way:
Two Schmendricks and a Mensch are at a funeral ...
Feh!
Oy vey ist mir ...
Pretty broad brush you paint with there.
Funny...
I’ve heard that joke before but it was about lawyers.
Pretty broad brush you paint with there.
Just like the cops do. You know, if youre not wearing a badge your a potential criminal.
If it was about lawyers it might be funnier. The only reason I could laugh at the rabbi in Seinfeld was because he was SO OVER THE TOP STUPID it entered its own category.
