  • A Healthy Diet šŸ¤£

    Abe was an eater, and his favorite foods were the classics: pastrami, shmaltz, shwarma, rugeleh, cholent… which he’d wash down with a black cherry soda.

    At his annual physical, Dr. Cohen shook his head and said, “Abe, you’re killing yourself with that stuff. Best thing for you to do is to give up all those fatty foods.”

    Abe pondered that for a few seconds and then said, “Okay, doc. What’s the next best thing?”

  • A Bumpy Flight šŸ¤£

    A priest and a rabbi are flying to the Holy Land when the plane experiences heavy turbulence. They struggle to remain calm until the pilotĀ announces that the engines are failing and everybody should brace for a water landing. In the midst of the ensuing panic, the priest is surprised toĀ see the rabbi make the sign of the cross.

    Thankfully, the plane lands safely in the Atlantic ocean. As they wait on the raft to be rescued, the priest turns to the rabbi.

    “I noticed you made the sign of the cross at 20,000 feet. Perhaps it was your conversion that delivered us all from destruction!”

    “Well, I share your relief at our deliverance, but it wasn’t on my account. I was just making the usual emergency check: spectacles, testicles, walletĀ and cigars.”

  • Selling Ties To The Taliban šŸ¤£

    A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the desert when he saw something in the distance.Ā 

    Praying it wasn’t a mirage, he hurried toward the object only to find a little old Jew standing beside his weathered display rack, selling ties.Ā 

    The terrorist blurted, “Give me water!”Ā 

    The old man replied, “Sorry, no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They’re only $5.”Ā 

    The terrorist screamed, “Idiot! Infidel! I don’t need an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties! I need water!ā€Ā 

    “Sorry, no water, just ties. Pure silk, and only $5.”Ā 

    “Fah! A curse on your ties!Ā  I’d twist one around your scrawny neck and choke the life out of you but . . . I must save my strength and find water!”Ā 

    “Nu,” said the little old Jew, ā€œso you don’t want to buy a tie from me, and you hate me, call me infidel and threaten my life. But I’m bigger than all of that, so I’ll tell you that if you go west, over that hill for about two miles, you’ll find a restaurant. They serve the finest food and all the ice-cold water you could ever drink. Go in peace.”Ā 

    Grumbling another curse, the desperate Taliban terrorist staggered west, over the hill.Ā Ā 

    Several hours later, he crawled back, nearly dead, and gasped, “They won’t let me in without a tie!ā€

  • Don’t Drink, Don’t Smoke šŸ¤£

    WhileĀ walking in Brooklyn, Yitzy was approached by a shabby derelict.

    “Mister, can you spare two dollars so I can buy dinner?”

    Yitzy took out two dollars and asked, “If I give you this, will you use it to buy whisky?”

    “No, I stopped drinking years ago.”

    “Will you use it to gamble?”

    “I don’t gamble. I’m just trying to stay alive.”

    “Will you spend it on golf?”

    “I haven’t played golf in 20 years!”

    ā€œWill you spend it on cigarettes?”

    ā€œI quit years ago when the price shot up.ā€

    Yitzy thought for a moment, and said, “Well, I’m not going to give you two dollars. I’m gonna take you Ā home for a terrific dinner, cooked by my wife.”

    “Really? That’d be awesome, but won’t your wife be angry? I know I’m dirty, and I smell pretty bad.”

    “Brother, that’s OK. I just want my wife to see what a man looks like who’s given up drinking, gambling, smoking and golf.”
