A Good Jewish Joke, Anyone?

I read Tom Friedman' Rabbi Joke:

"My rabbi told this story at Rosh Hashana services on Tuesday: A frail 80-year-old mother is celebrating her birthday and her three sons each give her a present. Harry gives her a new house. Harvey gives her a new car and driver. And Bernie gives her a huge parrot that can recite the entire Torah. A week later, she calls her three sons together and says: “Harry, thanks for the nice house, but I only live in one room. Harvey, thanks for the nice car, but I can’t stand the driver. Bernie, thanks for giving your mother something she could really enjoy. That chicken was delicious.”"


I am not Jewish, but I married one. I guess that makes me somewhat Jewish by association. Mexicans also have their jokes, I wrote one about Proculo's Fart  sometime ago.


Under stress, like many Mexicans and Jewish people live, for no fault of their own, some humor is needed.
