The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, “Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day went out in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun.”
He continued, “So he was in the woods and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?” Dumbfounded, the old man replied “No.”

- Four Rabbis
Four rabbis engaged in frequent theological arguments. Of the four, three always agreed and declared the fourth to be wrong. One day, the odd rabbi out, couldn’t take it any more, and decided to appeal to a higher authority. “Oh, God!” he cried. “I know in my heart I am right, and they are wrong! Please send a sign to prove it to them!”
It was a beautiful, sunny day. As soon as the fourth rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. “A sign from God, see! I’m right, I knew it!” But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days.
So the fourth rabbi prayed again. “Oh, God, I need a bigger sign to show I am right, and they are wrong. So please, God, send a bigger sign!” This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill. “I told you I was right!” cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted nothing had happened that couldn’t be explained by natural causes.
The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a very big sign, but just as he said, “Oh God…” the sky turned pitch black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice proclaimed, “HE’S R-I-I-I-GHT!”
The rabbi turned to the other three, and said, “Well?”
“So,” shrugged one of the other rabbis, “now it’s 3 to 2.”
- From Minsk
The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles. Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk. The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy.
They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again. They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest.
The people were very upset and decided to ask the rabbi, who was very wise, what to do. They told the rabbi what was happening: “Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side.
The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked, “Did you buy this cow from Minsk?”
The people were dumbfounded. They had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow. “You are truly a wise rabbi. How did you know we got the cow from Minsk?” The rabbi answered sadly, “My wife is from Minsk.”

- Banker’s Balls
An elderly woman carrying a large paper bag entered the head branch Chase Manhattan Bank. She told the young man at the window that she wished to open an account there with the $3 million she had in the bag. First, though, she wanted to meet the president of Chase Manhattan due to the amount of money involved.
This sounded like a reasonable request, so after opening the bag the teller saw bundles of $1,000 bills which must have totaled around $3 million. He phoned the bank president’s secretary to get the woman in to see the president. The elderly woman was ushered upstairs to to the president’s office. Introductions were made, and she said she liked to get to know people she did business with on a more personal level.
The bank president asked her how she came into such a large sum of money. “Was it an inheritance?” he asked. “No,” she answered. “Was it from playing the stock market?” he inquired. “No,” she replied. He was quiet for a minute, trying to think where this elderly woman could possibly have come into $3 million.
“I bet,” she stated. “As in horses?” he asked. “No” she replied. “I bet people.” Seeing his confusion, she explained that she just bet on different things with people. All of a sudden she said, “I’ll bet you $25,000 that by 10 o’clock tomorrow morning your balls will be square.”
The bank president figured she must be crazy, and decided to take her up on the bet. How could he lose? For the rest of the day he was very careful. He decided to stay home that evening, and take no chances—there was $25,000 at stake. When he got up the next morning and took his shower, he checked to make sure everything was okay with his scrotum. He looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the woman to come in at 10 o’clock, humming as he went. He knew this would be his lucky day—how often did he get handed $25,000 for doing nothing?
At 10 o’clock sharp the woman was shown into his office. With her was a man. When the bank president asked her what the other man was doing in the office, she informed the president that he was her lawyer and she always took him along when there was this much money involved.
“Well,” she asked, “what about our bet?” “I don’t know how to tell you this,” he replied, “but I’m the same as I’ve always been, only now $25,000 richer.”
The lady seemed to accept this, but requested she be able to see for herself. The bank president thought this was reasonable, and dropped his trousers . She instructed him to bend over, and she grabbed hold of him. Sure enough, every thing was fine. His balls were not square.
The bank president then looked up and saw her lawyer standing across the room banging his head against the wall. “What’s wrong with him?” he inquired. “Oh, him,” she answered. ” I bet him $100,000 that by 10 o’clock this morning I’d have the president of Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls.

If you take one more step a car will run over you and you will die.” The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him. “Where are you?” the man asked. “Who are you?” “I am your guardian angel,” the voice answered. “Oh yeah?” the man asked. “And where the hell were you when I got married?”
- Headache Cure
A guy has been suffering from severe headaches for years with no relief. After trying all the usual cures he’s referred to a headache specialist by his family doctor. The specialist asks him about his symptoms, and the guy replies, “I get these blinding headaches; kind of like a knife across my scalp and….”
He is interrupted by the specialist, “And a heavy throbbing right behind the left ear.” “Yes! Exactly! How did you know?”
“Well I am the world’s greatest headache specialist, you know. But I myself suffered from that same type of headache for many years. It is caused by a tension in the scalp muscles.
This is how I cured it. Every day I would give my wife oral sex. When she came she squeezed her legs together with all her strength, and the pressure would relieve the tension in my head. Try that every day for two weeks, and come back and let me know how it goes”.
Two weeks go by, and the guy returns. “Well, how do you feel?” “Doc, I’m a new man! I feel great! I haven’t had a headache since I started this treatment! I can’t thank you enough. And, by the way you have a lovely home.”

Another guy walks up with a trumpet. The octopus plays the trumpet better than Dizzie Gillespie. So the man pays his $50.
Then a Scotsman walks up with bagpipes. He sits them down and the octopus fumbles with it for a minute and sits it down with a confused look. “Ha!” the Scot says. “Can’t you play it?” The octopus looks up at him and says, “Play it? I’m going to fuck it as soon as I figure out how to get its pajamas off.”

Being unfamiliar with the area, she wandered into a restricted hotel in North Miami. “Excuse me,” she said to the manager. “My name is Mrs. Goldstein, and I’d like a small room for two weeks.”
“I’m awfully sorry,” he replied, “but all of our rooms are occupied.” Just as he said that, a man came down and checked out.”What luck,” said Mrs. Goldstein. “Now there’s a room.”
“Not so fast, Madam. I’m sorry, but this hotel is restricted. No Jews allowed.”
“Jewish? Who’s Jewish? I happen to be Catholic.”
“I find that hard to believe. Let me ask you, who was the Son of God?” ,,,”Jesus, Son of Mary.”
“Where was he born?” …”In a stable.”
“And why was he born in a stable?”
“Because a schmuck like you wouldn’t let a Jew rent a room in his hotel!” - One Sick Town

The first thing she notices is an old, old man with a long white beard sitting in the corner jacking-off. She runs up to the sheriff who’s sitting at the bar with his drink.
“What kind of sick town are you running here?! I drive into town and almost run over some cowboy sodomizing an animal…. and then… I come in here and see this old man in the corner jacking-off right in public!”
“Well, ma’am,” the sheriff slowly replies, “you don’t expect him to catch a coyote at his age, do ya?”

She reaches over, unzips the waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, “Man, oh man! Is that good!”
Then she asks, “How long has it been since you had a whisky? He replies, “Ten years!” She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on the right, pulls out a bottle of malt whisky and gives it to him. He takes a long swallow and says, “Wow, that is fantastic!”
Then she starts unzipping this long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit and she says to him, “And how long has it been since you had some real fun?” And the man replies, “My God! Don’t tell me you’ve got golf clubs in there!”
- Sabbath Sex
A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play. He asks a priest for his opinion on this question. The priest says after consulting the Bible, “My son, after an exhaustive search I am positive sex is work and is not permitted the Sabbath.”
The man thinks: “What does a priest know about sex?” He goes to minister—a married man—experienced, for the answer. He queries the minister and receives the same reply. Sex is work and not for the Sabbath!
Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority—a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge: a rabbi. The rabbi ponders the question and states, “My son, sex is definitely play.” The man replies, “rabbi, how can you be so sure, when so many others tell me sex is work?!” The rabbi softly speaks, “If sex were work my wife would have the maid do it.”

We’ve got our dogs with us.”
The one with the Doberman said, “Just follow my lead.” So, they walked over to the bar and the guy with the Doberman puts on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.

The buddy with the Chihuahua figured what the heck, so he put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in. He knew his story would be more unbelievable. Once again the bouncer said, “Sorry, pal, no pets allowed.” The man with the Chihuahua said, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing-Eye dog.” The bouncer said, “A Chihuahua?” The man with the Chihuahua exclaimed, “A Chihuahua? You’re kidding me! They gave me a fucking Chihuahua?”

- The Cautious Man
Not many years ago, a man named Patrick wanted to visit the Holy Land. He knew that planes were being hijacked and blown up because of tensions in the region, and being a careful, extremely organized man, he did everything in his power to assure the safety of his journey. But just minutes after takeoff, a bomb exploded under his seat, and Patrick was blown out the side of the plane.
As he fell, Patrick thought back on the choices he had made, all his efforts now apparently so worthless. He had chosen Pan Am rather than TWA. he changed flights in Switzerland, rather than the more troubled airports in Germany or Italy. He’d chosen to travel on a Saturday rather than midweek. And just minutes before take off, he switched from the aisle to a window seat.
Somewhere around eight thousand feet, Patrick’s situation was grim indeed. From the depth of his faith, he called out for help. “Saint Francis,” he cried, “please help me!” Amazingly a hand reached down from the heavens, caught Patrick by the scruff of his jacket, and held him suspended in midair, thousands of feet above the earth.
Just catching his breath, Patrick became aware of a voice belonging to the hand. And the voice asked, “Which Saint Francis?”

The next winter the young man is a guest at the finest hotel in Miami Beach. Once again the lobby of the hotel is crowded with fashionably dressed young people, and once again the elderly orthodox man is there.

At the King David hotel, I am the golf pro.”

- Tickets Please…
Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Microsoft employees each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers buy only a single ticket. “How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?” asks a Microsoft employee. “Watch and you’ll see,” answers the Apple engineer. They all board the train.
The Microsoft employees take their respective seats, but all three Apple engineers cram into a restroom, and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, “Ticket, please.” The door opens just a crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The Microsoft employees saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Microsoft employees decide to copy the Apple engineers (as they always do) on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that). When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Apple engineers don’t buy a ticket at all. “How are you going to travel without ticket?” asks one perplexed Microsoft employee. “Watch and you’ll see,” answers an Apple engineer.
When they board the train the three Microsoft employees cram into a restroom, and the three Apple engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Apple engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Microsoft employees are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket, please…”
- Tonto Goldstein
A man boards an airplane, and takes his seat. As he settles in, he glances up and sees the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realizes she is heading straight towards his seat. A wave of nervous anticipation washes over him. Lo and behold, she takes the seat right beside his. Anxious to strike up a conversation, he blurts out, “So where are you flying to today?”
She turns and smiles, and says, “To the Annual Nymphomaniac Convention, in Chicago.” He swallows hard, and is instantly crazed with excitement. Here’s the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen, sitting right next to him, and she’s going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs. Struggling to maintain his outward cool, he calmly asks, “And what’s your role at this convention?” She flips her hair back, turns to him, locks onto his eyes, and says, “Well, I try to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.”
“Really” he says, swallowing hard. “And what myths are those?” She explains: “Well, one popular myth is that African American men are the most well-endowed when, in fact, it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess this trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who romance women best, on average.” “Very interesting,” the man responds.
Suddenly, the woman becomes very embarrassed, and blushes. “I’m sorry, she says, “I feel so awkward discussing this with you, and I don’t even know your name.” The man extends his hand and replies, “Tonto. Tonto Goldstein.”

The cousin, very upset, sent a message back that said, “Where I live, we give people bad news more tactfully. Instead of just telling me flat out that my cat died, you should have let me know me little by little. You should have started off by saying something like, ‘Your cat is acting strange,’ then later, ‘your cat is jumping all over the place,’ then still later told me, ‘Your cat is missing,’ and then finally broken the news with, ‘Your cat is dead.’
A month later, Nasrudin’s cousin received a new letter from Nasrudin, which said: “Your mother is acting strangely.”
- “Nasrudin,” said the mayor, “Mrs Rahman’s husband died today. Go tell her, but try to break the news gently. She is a very frail lady.”Nasrudin went to her house and knocked on the door. A frail lady answered.

- What Makes a Woman Tick?
A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn’t see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, “For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one.”
The man thought for a minute and said, “I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to because I’m afraid of flying and ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii.”
The genie thought for a few minutes and said, “No, I don’t think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask.”
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, “There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?”
The genie considered for a few minutes and said, “So, do you want two lanes or four?”
