This one’s very Jewish, so don’t feel bad if you don’t get it!
About 100 years ago, Yankel from Brooklyn took a train to Texas for a business trip. He was nervous because he’d heard wild tales of outlaws in the Lone Star State, and antisemitism too.
Sure enough, as the train approached Dallas, several large men wearing cowboy hats entered his car. The biggest one said, “Are there any Jews on this train?”
Yankel was terrified.
“I said, are there any Jews on this train??”
Yankel sank lower in his seat, praying he wouldn’t be noticed.
The huge cowboy walked right up to Yankel and towering over him said, “For the last time, are there any Jews on this train?”
Realizing there was no way out, Yankel said, “Yeah, I’m a Jew.”
“Great!” said the Texan. “We need a tenth for a minyan!”
