“Jokes for the Folks”

I’m never tired of relating jokes to you. I only wish it was reciprocal…not the relating the jokes, rather you saying, “I’m never tired of…” But I was called upon by God to do so (or, should it read, “But I was called upon, by God, to do so”) so a few more for your Shabbat “delight”:

 

      Felix Frankfurter, a Jewish Supreme Court Justice way back when, was known to have a sharp tongue but he was kind to those whose ideas were different than his. He was asked to explain this seeming paradox. He said, “I am always tolerant with those who disagree with me.  After all, they have a perfect right to their ridiculous opinions.”

 

     An imaginative member of a big city finance company sent this letter to one of his delinquent accounts: “Dear Mr. Schleplowitz, after checking our records, we note that we have done more for you than your own mother did. We carried you for fifteen months.”

 

     In the HR office of a sort of large company was a sign that read: “Your raise becomes effective as soon as you do.”

 

     As church goers were on their way to Easter services, they noticed a sign in Bloom’s store window “Christ has risen, but our prices remain the same!”

 

     A stingy beau found out that his lady friend wasn’t well. He visited her and brought her a gift, a box of cough drops. “Well, I hope this didn’t set you back too much!” she snapped. “Couldn’t you at least have brought me flowers?” He replied, “I suppose so, but I heard you had a cold, not that you were dead.”
