- Laugh a Little
Clergy and Jewish Ritual Jokes
Rabbis are usually associated with the more serious side of life.
We count on them for our Sabbath Sermons, for officiating at
weddings and for eulogizing our departed. But rabbis are
entrenched in our culture, and thus Jewish Humor did not spare their
esteemed profession. Laugh a little. It's good for the
body, it's good for the soul.Final Wishes: A Catholic Priest, A Minister, and A Rabbi (Source Unknown)
A Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a rabbi are discussing
what they would like people to say after they die and their bodies
are on display in open caskets.
Priest: I would like someone to say "He was a righteous man, an
honest man, and very generous."
Minister: I would like someone to say "He was very kind and fair,
and he was very good to his parishioners."'
Rabbi: I would want someone to say "OH LOOK! HE'S MOVING!"
Martial
Art Accuracy, A Jewish Samurai (Source Unknown)
Way back in the time of the samurai, there was a powerful emperor.
This emperor needed a new head samurai. So, he sent out a message
to everybody he knew for them to send a message to who they knew,
and so forth.
A year passes, and only three people show up: a Japanese samurai, a
Chinese samurai, and a Jewish samurai. The emperor asks the
Japanese samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head
samurai. The Japanese samurai opens up a matchbox, and out pops a
little fly. WHOOOOOSH. The fly drops dead on the ground in 2 pieces!
The emperor says, "That is very impressive!"
Then the emperor asks the Chinese samurai to come in and demonstrate
why he should be head samurai. The Chinese samurai opens up
a matchbox and out pops a little fly. WHOOOOOOSH. WOOOOOOOSH. The
fly drops dead on the ground in 4 pieces! The emperor says, "That
is really impressive!"
Then the emperor asks the Jewish samurai to come in and
demonstrate why he should be head samurai. The Jewish samurai
thinks, "If it works for the other two..." So the Jewish samurai
walks in, opens a matchbox, and out pops a little fly.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHH. A gust of wind fills the room,
but the fly is still buzzing around. The emperor says in
disappointment, "Why is the fly not dead?"
And the Jewish samurai replies, "If you look closely, you'll see
that the fly has been circumcised."
