In the annals of Jewish humor, the mythical town of Chelm is widely known for its intelligence-challenged residents.
When Dr. Levine opened a medical office in Chelm, his first patient was the town’s great sage, Yitzy Yankel.
“Doctor, I hurt all over.”
“That’s not medically possible.”
“But it’s true! When I touch my leg – ouch! – it hurts. When I touch my arm – ouch! – it hurts. When I touch my head – ouch! – it hurts. When I touch my chest – ouch! – it really hurts.”
“Yitzy Yankel, I know for a fact that your body is fine.”
“How could you possibly know such a thing, Doctor?”
“Because your finger is broken.”
