JEWISH HUMOR FROM THE CATSKILLS [via David Angsten]

You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days: Shecky Greene, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Joey Bishop, Milton Berle, Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Henny Youngman, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx, Jackie Mason, Victor Borge, Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Lenny Bruce, George Burns, Allan Sherman, Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, Shelley Berman, Gene Wilder, George Jessel, Alan King, Mel Brooks, Phil Silvers, Jack Carter, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles and so many others. Not one single swear word in their comedy.



* I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.


* I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years! If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!


* What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she's making love? "Honey, I'm home!"


* Someone stole all my credit cards but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.


* We always hold hands.. If I let go, she shops.


* My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night; only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.


* My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. My wife called it the Dead Sea.


* She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.


* I was just in London; there is a 6-hour time difference. I'm still confused. When I go to dinner, I feel sexy. When I go to bed, I feel hungry.


* The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill so the doctor gave him another six months.


* The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back. " Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"


* Doctor: "You'll live to be 60!" Patient: "I am 60!" Doctor: "See! What did I tell you?"


* A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand? " The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me!"


* Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer!"


* A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."


* Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.


*Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.
