Jewish humour is among the best.here is a fine example.
A man interested in vampires went to an old castle in Transalvania.He was nervous and the door creaked as he opened it.It was dark and misty.In the corner was an old trunk and slowly the lid lifted and a vampire dressed in a dinner jacket slowly rose and stared at the man.
He was terrified and shaking with fear and then he remembered the cross in his pocket. he fumbled, found it and held it at arms length towards the approaching vampire.
The vampire stopped then a smile broke over his face.
Oy vey, he said, is this your unlucky day.

A wild guess: Since the vampire was Jewish, the Christian cross held no symbolic protection. (You had to be there ;>)

I think I wasted my time with this one.I thought it was funny but a sense of humour varies.
I bet if there is anyone from New York on this they will see the humour.

It was "funny" in a groaning kind of way. :) Or maybe "Oy veh!" would be a more appropriate reaction?? Whoever wrote that joke needs spell check.. it's TranSYLvania, not TranSALvania. :)
I guess you have to study vampires to get it. :) Those who guessed the vampire was Jewish were correct. Boo-hoo for those who did not. :) Vampire myths and legends are very much steeped in religion (and superstition and a complete lack of knowledge on what happens to the body when we die) otherwise crucifixes and holy water would have no effect.
Sorry.... but, as a writer, vampires have kinda been my "thing" (the study of the myths and legends that is) so spotting the mistakes goes along with it.

I'm from Kansas and non-religious. I started laughing out-loud when I read it! It is GREAT.

I love telling jokes to a Brit. They laugh 3 times
1. When you tell the joke
2. When you explain it to them
3. Two days later when they understand it.
PS: My college roommate was a Brit.
