Old Jews Telling Jokes
Jewish World Review ^ | May 27 2009 | Richard Z Chesnoff

Posted on 05/27/2009 7:00:52 AM PDT by Milhous

A Frenchman, a German and a Jew walk into a bar.

"I'm tired and thirsty," says the Frenchman. "I must have wine."
"I'm tired and thirsty," says the German. "I must have beer."
"I'm tired and thirsty," says the Jew. "I must have diabetes."

I have long been convinced that two things have allowed we Jews to survive for almost four thousand years and outlive our long list of enemies in the process: religious faith and a burning desire to tell jokes, especially the self deprecating kind. ...

I'm also personally discovering that the older a Jew gets, the more he or she wants to tell stories and have them laughed at — even if they aren't officially in the comedy trade or even if the jokes they're telling are ancient and have been recounted time and time again. Like me, for example.

Hollywood director and producer Sam Hoffman has came up with the perfect solution: the enormously successful Jewish humor website called "Old Jews Telling Jokes" (www.oldjewstellingjokes.com) which Hoffman launched just last year. Born of his own fondness for the funny tales he heard from his father, family and friends over four decades, the website is just what it's called: Old Jews telling jokes.

Like the old saying goes, an Alamo a day keeps the matzos away, or something like that.

I think your idea has merit to deny a *second* Holocaust from happening...



Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership...Billed as “America’s most aggressive defender of firearms ownership,” the “twin goals” of JPFO are:

To destroy “gun control” and to encourage Americans to understand and defend all of the Bill of Rights for everyone...

Founded by Jews and initially aimed at educating the Jewish community about the historical evils that Jews have suffered when they have been disarmed, JPFO has always welcomed persons of all religious beliefs who share a common goal of opposing and reversing victim disarmament policies while advancing liberty for all.

They’re not a lobbying organization. Their work is done through education, via books, videos, pamphlets...

‘Gun control’? One Jewish group says ‘Never again!’

I thought the Reformed Synagogue was a Yiddish schism.

I remember reading that Elvis Aron Presley was Jewish, under Jewish matriarchical lineage: His mother’s mother was Jewish!

Thanks for the ping, bodda bing.

I must be part part Jewish, ‘cause I love those to tell self-defecating jokes...or was that deprecating?
