Home, Sweet Home     A good, old American Jew felt the death is close and asked his sons to take him to the Holy Land, to die there and be buried in Jerusalem.     The loving sons did as he asked, brought him to Jerusalem, put him in a hospital and waited for death to come. However, once in Jerusalem the old man felt better and better and in some weeks was again strong, healthy and full of life. He called upon his sons and told them: " Take me quickly back to the United States."     The sons were somehow disappointed and asked: "Father how come? You said you want to die in the Holy Land and be buried in Jerusalem!'     "Yes," answered the father, to die it's OK but to live here....!?"

Secret to a Long Life

One day I saw a wonderful old gal sitting on her front step. Her face was wrinkled like a prune, she was so stooped she was almost folded in half, and her gnarled fingers could hardly grasp the glass of iced tea she was holding. But she had such a wide, toothless grin on her face that she positively spread cheer.

So I walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret for such a long, happy life?"

"I smoke ten stogies a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. All my life I've eaten only junk food and I put away at least a fifth of Jack Daniels every week. On weekends I pop pills, and never do any exercise at all."

Absolutely, absolutely amazing, I thought, and I just couldn't help but to ask her, "Wow! How old are you, anyway?"

She didn't hesitate at all. "Twenty-four," she replied.

Football Team Loyalty

Four rabid football fans -- a Colts fan, a Packers fan, a Chargers fan, and a Patriots fan -- are climbing a mountain, and a conversation turned to an argument about which one loved his team more.

The argument lasted the entire climb, and culminated when they reached the scenic lookout at the top.

The Indianapolis fan insisted he was the most loyal. "This is for the Colts!" he yells, and jumps off the side of the mountain!

Not to be outdone, the Green Bay fan shouted, "This is for the Packers!" and threw himself off the mountain.

The San Diego fan was next to profess his love for his team.

He yelled, "This is for Chargers!" -- and pushed the Patriot fan off the mountain.

OK, I am reminded of the time the brit, the yankee and the frog were caught by cannibals in the deepest darkest jungle. The cannibals are environmentalists, and will use every scrap of their prey's bodies - their bones for tools, their meat for food, and their skins for drumheads. This is all being explained to the three victims while they wait for the water to boil. When the pot is ready, the cannibal king asks the brit for his last wish, and the brit asks for a knife, shouts God Save The Queen, and slits his own throat. The frog, asked the same question, asks for a knife, shouts Vive la France, and does the same. The yankee, though, asks for a fork, and then starts stabbing himself all over, shouting Make a drumhead outa THAT, assholes!

Tunisia's one reminded me:

A Jew on his deathbed, surrounded by his family, asked for a priest. They were, of course, scandalized, but he explained: I want to be converted. Better than one of them should die than one of us.

THE JEWISH HORSE


Shmerel wants to borrow a horse from his neighbor, Berel.

"Sure you can borrow my horse," replies Berel. "But one thing you have to know about this horse. He is trained to start when you say 'Baruch Hashem' (thank God), and he stops when you say 'Shema Yisrael.'"

So Shmerel gets on the horse and practices. "Baruch Hashem" he says, and the horse breaks into a trot. "Shema Yisrael" he announces, and sure enough, the horse stops. After practicing a few times, he feels confident and begins his journey.

As he is riding along a road, he sees that the road ends up ahead with a steep cliff. Suddenly Shmerel realizes that he has forgotten the word needed to make the horse stop.

"Ashrei yoshvei vetecha" he squeaks, desperately. The horse keeps going.

"Um - Adon Olam" he intones.

The horse keeps going.

"Eh - Aleinu L'shabeiach."

But the horse keeps galloping.

Now fearful that he is about to die, Shmerel does what any good Jew would do when confronted with certain death. He screams our, "Shema Yisrael." As trained, the horse stops suddenly -- barely two feet from the edge of the cliff.

Shaking like a leaf, Shmerel pulls out his handkerchief and wipes the sweat from his forehead. "Whew" he exclaims, "Baruch Hashem!"

No one believes seniors - everyone thinks they are senile. 

An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. The couple had married as childhood sweethearts and had moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired. Holding hands, they walked back to their old school. It was not locked, so they entered, and found the old desk they'd shared, where Jerry had carved a heart saying "Jerry loves Sally." 

On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it up and, not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There, she counted the money - fifty thousand dollars! 

Jerry said, We've got to give it back. 

Sally said, Finders keepers. She put the money back in the bag and hid it in their attic. 

The next day, two police officers were canvassing the neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on their door. "Pardon me, did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armored car yesterday?" 

Sally said, No. 

Jerry said, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic." 

Sally said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile" 

The agents turned to Jerry and began to question him. 

One said: " Tell us the story from the beginning." 

Jerry said, " Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday ..." 

The first police officer turned to his partner and said, "OK We're outta here!"

Two ladies at Francis assisted living land were talking about their bucket list.
Mrrzy said Oh look, my number 7 is to take a cruise, I always wanted to take a cruise ship.

Gnu said softly "We basically did that last year dear. Remember we went on the bus for our field trip to Chipoltle and missed the bus home and the doors were locked when we finally got home and we had to stay at the smokey motel with the clogged toilet?

Hmm well then how about number 8, a trip to Mexico ?

We could just go to Chipoltle.

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is
helping the other monks in copying the old canons
and laws of the church, by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are
copying from copies, not from the original manuscript.
So, the new monk goes to the Old Abbot to question
this, pointing out that if someone made even a small
error in the first copy, it would never be picked up!
In fact, that error would be continued in all of
the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying
from the copies for centuries, but you make a
good point, my son."
He goes down into the dark caves
underneath the monastery where the original
manuscripts are held as archives,
in a locked vault that hasn't
been opened for hundreds of years.
Hours go by and nobody sees the Old Abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.

"We missed the R! We missed the R!
We missed the bloody R!"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old Abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With a choking voice, the old Abbot replies,

"The word was ...
CELEBRATE!"

It was deep in winter and the snow came on thick and fast and a cold wind howling. A mother duck was on the duckpond with her ducklings and quickly ushered themwith great difficulty into the yard and finaly into the barn for shelter. In the barn she wrapped her wings around her little ones to keep them warm only to realize that one was missing. She went to the barn door and called for her missing duckling. Her plaintive cries were drowned out by the wind and she feared the worst. She wanted to go out and search but knew that the rest of her brood needed her and would not survive long without her. So sadly she returned and wrapped her wings around them and cried for her lost duckling.

Out side in the terrible weather the little duckling tried to battle against the raging storm but was tiring fast ,the cold draining him of energy. The farm dog who was out rounding up the sheep and cattle heard the feeble cries of the duckling and came to his help. He picked him up carefully and carried him and dropped him up to his neck into a freshly laid cow pat and returned to herding in the other animals meaning to return later.

The warmth from the steaming pile of shit revived the duckling and soon he was warm again. He was glad to be alive and started to sing loudly. His singing attracted the attention of the local fox who was passing. The fox crept up and found the little duckling and thought a perfect little snack. He carefully grabbed the duckling by its head and started to pull it out then clean it on the newly fallen snow then ate it.

Now there are several morals to this story

1 Sometimes its your friends who drop you in it!


2 Sometimes its your enemies that get you out of it!


And most of all


3 When you are up to your neck in it it is best not to shout about it because you might make things get worse!
