JEWISH JOKE
An Indian brave named Sitting Bull comes home to the wigwam and informs his father that he's found a wonderful new, Jewish, girlfriend and they're getting married.
Naturally the father is upset.
"Why don't you find a nice Indian girl? It's not right for Indians to marry out. Anyway, I'm sure that Jews feel the same way. Surely they're not thrilled with having an Indian son-in-law".
"Not true!", replies the brave. "They like me so much that they've already given their daughter a new Indian name".
"What's that?" says the father.
"Sitting Shiva"

CLASSIC JOKE
CHILDREN'S LOGIC
1. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard
the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room,
putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she
heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"
2. A mother was telling her little girl what her own childhood was like:
"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it
hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild
raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in.
at last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
3. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know
how you and G-d are alike?"! I mentally polished my halo while I asked,
"No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.
4. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her father's word
processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he
asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."
5. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I
decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it
was. She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me,
so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma,
I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"
6. A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were
ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her
what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall
not take the covers off thy neighbor's wife,"
7. Our five-year-old son Mark couldn't wait to tell his father about the
movie we had watched on television, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." The
scenes with the submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide-eyed.
In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted Mark, "What caused
the submarine to sink?" With a look of incredulity Mark replied, "Dad, it
was the 20,000 leaks!"
8. When my grandson, Tyler, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the
lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.
Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy
whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with
flashlights."
9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not
sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma! ," he advised. "Mine says I'm
four."
10. A second grader came home from school and said to her mother, "Mom,
guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The mother, more than a
little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said,
"How do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just
change "y" to "i" and add 'es'."
11. Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small
boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took
the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she
asked "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a
child."
12. A grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He
had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her
life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green
army men in the cup. She said, "Honey, what are these army men doing in my
coffee?" Her grandson said, "Grandma, it says on TV - "The best part of
waking up is soldiers in your cup!"
13. Susie Sunshine asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of
their favorite Bible stories. She was puzzled by Jimmie's picture which
showed four people on an airplane, so she asked him which story it was
meant to represent. "The flight to Egypt." said Jimmy. "I see, and that
must be Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus," Ms Susie said. But who's the fourth
person?"- - - - - - "Oh, that's Pontius - the Pilot."
14. A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids
home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of
the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the
dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the
argument to a close. "They use the dogs", she said firmly, "to find the
fire hydrant."
