Thanks Burtzy, that is the very point I wanted to make. Here's another.

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.

One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite."

The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing."


Now, does the Jewish community have jokes about Gentiles? I'm sure they must. It would be great if you could amuse us with some.
Shalom.
Thanks Burtzy, that is the very point I wanted to ... (show quote)


They don't have jokes about gentiles....they figure they're already such a joke....

I've heard that a lot of comics don't work colleges anymore because the students are so tuned into their microaggressions and safe spaces that they've lost their sense of humor. Whether the joke was about a Jewish couple or Italians or Polish people it was funny. I believe the Jewish person who posted above understood the dynamic that made it work as a Jewish joke.

Now if the joke had used some negative stereotype about Jews that would have been different. But it didn't. Nothing there about being cheap, etc. Even though Seinfeld did that kind of humor in a gentle way all the time and it was funny. ie. "They bought ice. Can you believe they paid for ice?" Hilarious.

I wonder if we've become more sensitive because the moron-in-chief is a mysogynistic, racist, homophobic, alethephobic, xenophobe.

Hey funny is funny. If we can't laugh at ourselves then put your head under the pillow and don't get out of bed.

So I was the only non Jew working at a small accounting firm. One day I went to the little Jewish deli next door and got lunch. One of the guy yelled "hey look. He is become a Jew". I replied "is that what's happening? Yesterday I was taking a leak and my foreskin fell off". Zero accounting got done the rest of the day as I heard what could be every Jewish joke ever told.

Lighten up. If I plan on telling a joke with the aim of hurting you, you'll know it.

Two Jewish boys are in the shower at the Jewish Boyโ€™s School Shower Room --- after a Gym workout.
One, was a Local and the other was a new kid to the area. An argument breaks out between them. The new kid asks,

How can you tell if a Mohel or a Gentile circumcised someone???

The response from the local kid was quick,

โ€œSimple. Around Here, Our local Rabbi, who is also the local Mohel Always cuts on the bias!!!

Totally agree, laugh with not at...

Take things the way they were meant. Take important things seriously and don't take yourself so seriously.

A line from Kristofferson's Jesus was a Capricorn. "Everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on, who they can feel better than at any time they please". Face it, there are people who just know that somewhere someone is enjoying life. They are jealous,they do not have a life to enjoy. Pray for them.

Oh, and I never thought that Youngman was funny. Isaac Asimov, now he could be funny.

And one more in questionable taste. A new Rabbi could not get a position, no maatter what. He put his training to use in a part time job at the zoo. He circumcised the elephants to prevent problems. The pay was poor, but the tips were big.
