Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, can you help me?" After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "Well the problem is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment." Jack asks sadly, "And that would be?" "Well," the Doctor explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it silently then says, "Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it." Jack went under the knife, and, after a period of recovery and healing, returned to the Doc for his blessing. Following the examination, the Doc pronounced Jack "healed and ready for action". Eager to use his experimentally enhanced equipment, Jack planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, anticipating a happy conclusion to the evening. In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure, Jack placed his napkin on his lap and unzipped his fly. His penis immediately sprung from his pants, flipped the napkin on the floor, went to the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and then returned to his pants! His girlfriend was stunned at first but then, imagining the possibilities, said with a sly smile and a gleam in her eye, "That was incredible! Can you do it again?" Jack groaned, "Probably, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass."

Special offers Sam is hungry and stops off for a bite to eat at Minkys Kosher Salt Beef Bar. When the waiter asks him whether he’d like a drink to start, he orders a Maccabi beer. "A good choice sir, we have a special offer on this beer tonight – it’s only going to cost you 1p." "1p?" exclaims Sam, "that’s really cheap." Then Sam quickly looks through the menu and says, "I’d like a big plate of your best Salt Beef with latkes, haimisher cucumbers and English mustard." "Certainly," replies the barman, "but that’s going to cost you real money." "So how much is real money?" asks Sam. "5p," replies the waiter. "5p?" says Sam, "that’s ridiculous. You’ll loose money on this. I’d like to talk to the owner. Where is he?" "He’s upstairs with my wife," replies the waiter. "What`s he doing upstairs with your wife?" asks Sam. "The same thing as I`m doing to his business," replies the waiter.

"I am a theology scholar," replies the fiance. "Do you have any plans of employment?" "I will study and God will provide." "What about the children?" asks the man. "God will provide." "And your house and car?" "Again, God will provide," says the fiance. After the talk, the girl's mother asks the father, "So what did you two talk about?" The man replies, "He has no plans of employment, but on the other hand, he thinks I'm God."

Have you ever noticed that the waiter who takes your order is not the one who brings your food anymore? What is THAT about? And which waiter are you tipping, anyway? I think next time I go to a restaurant I`ll just say, "Oh, sorry, I only eat the food. The guy who pays the bill will be along shortly."

A waiter approached the man studying the menu carefully at the fancy restaurant. "May I take your order, sir?" he asked."Well, I was wondering how you prepare your chickens." The man replied."Oh, it`s nothing too special, sir," the waiter confided. "We just tell them straight out that they`re going to die."

The World's Best Champions & Chocolate don't even remotely compare to Chuck Norris!

POEM: The night before Chanukah [My thanks to BMS for the following] `Twas the night before Chanukah and all over the place There was noise, there was kvetching Soch ah disgrace! The kinderlach, sleeping, uneasily felt The chocolate rush from the Chanukah gelt. And me in the easyboy, so stuffed with latkes, I stretched the elastic which held up my gatkes. When up on the roof A fat alter kocker was making a kvitch. I jumped up real quick and I ran to the door, Was it a bandeet, or only a shnorrer? He wasn`t alone; he had eight ferdelach, And called them by name as he gave a gebrach: "On Moishe, on Yankel, on Itzik, on Sam, On Mendel, on Shmendrick, on Feivush, on Ham, My kidneys are kvelling, do you give a damn?" He had a white beard and payess to boot, And to keep out the cold, he had such a nice suit! A second from Peerless, I could tell at a glance, But the cut was okay, and so were the pants. He was triple XL, a real groisser goof, So I yelled out, "Meshuggeneh! Get off from mein roof!" He jumped down and said as he shook hands with me, "Max Klaus is the name. You have maybe some tea?" So I gave him a gleisel, while he shook his white mop, Mutt`ring, "Always the same thing, They`re dreying my kop!" From Vancouver to Glacer Bay, Outremont to Reginek, Every shmo in the world hakks meir a cheinik! They`re screaming for presents, and challah with shmaltz, And from Brooklyn alone, the back pain, gevaltz!" So we sat and yenta’d, and we spun the old dreydels, (He took all of my money, and one of my kanidels) He said, "Business is not bad, a living I make, But I`m getting too old for this Chanukah fake; And the cell phones, you see how my pacemaker dings? For two cents I`d quit, and move to Palm Springs?" And he gave a geshrei as he fled mit a lacht, "Gut Yontif to all, Veh is Mir, such a nacht!"

A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the bakery to inscribe the wedding cake with "1 John 4:18" which reads "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." The bakery evidently lost, smudged or otherwise misread the noted reference, and beautifully inscribed on the cake "John 4:18" ... "for you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband."

Jim invited his mother for dinner, during the course of the meal; his mother couldn't help but notice how lovely Jim's room mate, Angie, was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Jim and his room mate than met the eye. Reading his mum's thoughts, Jim volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Angie & I are just room mates". About a week later, Angie came to Jim saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I have been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?" "Well I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her just to be sure" said Jim. So he sat down and wrote an email. DEAR MOTHER, I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID" TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID NOT" TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER. LOVE JIM Several days later, Jim received an email from his mother which read: DEAR SON, I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DO" SLEEP WITH ANGIE, AND I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DO NOT" SLEEP WITH ANGIE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE FRYING PAN BY NOW. LOVE MOM.

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!" The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee, and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed. Moral of the story? If you're going to have a senior moment...make it memorable.

A young woman brings home her fiance to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites the fiance to his study for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man. "I am a Torah scholar," he replies. "A Torah scholar. Hmmm," the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?" "I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us." "And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will provide for us." "And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?" "Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancee. The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

A man walks into a Chinese restaurant but is told by the Maitre'd that there will be at least a twenty minute wait. "Would you like to wait in the bar, Sir?", he says.

The bartender pauses for a few seconds, then smiles and says, "Once upon time, there were FOUR little peegs . . . "
