“Jokes for the Folks”

Yet another group of knee-slappers designed to keep you rolling in the (virtual synagogue) aisles long after you’ve left:

-     People keep asking, “Is this COVID-19 really that serious?” Listen up! Casinos and synagogues are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing, it’s probably pretty serious. 

 -    I’m so bored…I went outside and knocked on my own door, then came back in and said, “Who is it?”  

-      Ken walks into the bar of his golf club, sits down and orders a drink. As he sips his drink, he hears a soothing voice say, “Nice tie, Ken.” He looks around but there’s no one in the bar except for himself and the bartender. A few sips later another voice says, “Beautiful shirt, Ken.” He calls over the bartender. “I must be losing my mind,” he says. “I keep hearing voices saying nice things to me yet there’s no one in here except the two of us.” The bartender says smiling, “It’s the peanuts, Ken.” “What on earth are you talking about? Are you Meshuggah?” Ken responds. “It’s the peanuts,” repeats the bartender, “they’re complimentary.” 

-     Overheard…” Mariel, summertime is almost here. I was wondering where you’ll be going this year?” Mariel replied, “Well, as you know Franny, we took a trip around the world last year. This year we’re thinking of going somewhere different.”

-     “I washed my hands so much due to COVID-19 that my exam notes from 1995 resurfaced.”
