“Jokes for the Folks”

We Jews are really good in the humor department. Here are some jokes that put that statement to the test:

 

      Marc locks himself out of his car but finds a coat hanger (younger folks will have not a clue understanding what a coat hanger has to do with unlocking a car) in a nearby dumpster. He returns to his car to begin the task. As soon as he shoves the wire through the slightly open window, his wife Sharon starts telling him what to do. “Marc, move it more to the right…now to the left…higher!…lower! Finally, she says, “Marc, what’s taking you so long?” He replies, “Easy for you to say, Sharon, sitting inside an air-conditioned car!”

 

      A famous tv producer attends a holyday service at which the rabbi delivered a forty-five minute sermon on repentance and holiness. When the service was over and people were in line to wish the rabbi Shana Tova, it finally was the producer’s turn. “Rabbi, I’m the producer of a highly-regarded and very successful news show. Do you think you could condense your sermon into three minutes?” The rabbi who had visions of being on national television and becoming rich and famous immediately said, “Yes, I could do that.” The producer then said, “Nu, then why didn’t you?”

 

      A man wanted a boat real bad, but his wife absolutely refused. He bought the boat anyway but thought it wise to compromise in some fashion. He said to his wife, “Why don’t you name the boat?” Being a good sport, she agreed. He went down to the dock a few days later for his maiden voyage, and this is the name he saw painted on the side…” For Sale.”

 

      So, the Zen master steps up to the hot dog cart and says, “Make me one with everything.” The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master who pays with a $20 bill. The hot dog vendor puts the bill in the cash drawer and closes the drawer. “Where’s my change?” asks the Zen master. The hot dog vendor responds, “Change must come from within.”
