Subject: RE: Parody: 'Cause I'm A Jew
OK---ethnicity as done by a Lehrer can cover a spectrum. Others have to have the talent to be able to leave you laughing and not offended. The ones I mentioned (Jackie Mason aside) can do that.
I loved the Hitler joke--so now we play Can You Top This:
Drunk at a Bar: Damn Jews sunk the Titanic.
Fellow Patron: You're crazy. It was an Iceberg
Drunk: Iceberg, Goldberg, they are all the same to me
Drum roll now!!
One of the best and moving ones appears in film Gloomy Sunday---a must not miss film to see.
At a point in the film a Nazi and his companion Nazi walk into a restaurant (the owner --Jewish--had saved the Nazi's life many years back and the Nazi owes him big time--he wants to help him but not seem soft to his companion) so, he says---"tell me a Jewish joke.
Owner : (after hesitating) Well, Mr. Korngold is arriving at a Concentration Camp and the Commandant is vain and has a glass eye. If you spot it when he asks he shoots you---if you don't you live. When Korngold's turn comes he says "...sir, it is the left one because it is the only one looking at me with a kindly glance". He is spared.
One last one: Guaranteed to offend all:
As the Titanic is going down the call for life boats is heard. The Protestant Minister yells---Women and Children First The Rabbi Yells: F... them The Priest says gently--Will there be time?
BaBOom
On a higher note:
Nichols & May routine about the Doctor who calls his mother on the phone. She said she is dying of malnutrition because she did not want to have a mouth full of food when her son the Doctor called at some time. Not a joke but a great routine---like Mel Brooks 2000 year old man who has over 200 children and not one of them call.
