    Unfortunately not a joke.

    An Israeli is on vacation and is visiting a zoo in the States when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.

    Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to devour her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

    The Israeli runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

    Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the Israeli brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

    A reporter has watched the whole event and says to the Israeli: ‘Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.’

    The Israeli replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was

    behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right..’

    The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page… So, tell me please, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’

    The Israeli replies, “I serve in the Israeli army and I vote for the Likud.”

    After taking a few more details, the journalist leaves.

    The following morning the Israeli buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

    Paddy on his first day at the roadworks, was given the task to paint white lines on the road. When his boss picked him up at the end of the day he saw that Paddy had painted a 2 km line. “A great worker” thought his boss and told him to do the same the next day. That day he only painted 1 km, still a great achievement. The third day he painted 500 meter, the fourth day only 200.

    “What’s the matter with you?” asked his boss, “you did so much better the first day”.

    “Yeh” said Paddy, “but don’t forget that I have to walk every day more and more all the way back and forth to the paintpot!”

    Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

    And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese?

    One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

    If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

    How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

    English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

    PS. – Why doesn’t ‘Buick’ rhyme with ‘quick’

    You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .

    There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is ‘UP.’

    It’s easy to understand

    UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?

    At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ?

    Why do we speak UP and why are the officers

    UP for election and why is it UP to

    the secretary to write UP

    a report ?

    We call UP our friends. And we use it to

    brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver,

    we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP

    the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix

    UP the old car .. At other times the little word has real special meaning.

    People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an

    appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special ..

    And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because

    it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning

    but we close it UP at night.

    We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

    To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP ,

    look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary,

    it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP

    to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it,

    you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP

    is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP,

    you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

    When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.

    When the sun comes out we say i t is clearing UP.

    When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP .

    When it doesn’t rain for awhile, things dry UP .

    One could go on and on, but I’ll wrap it

    UP , for now my time is UP, so…………

    Time to shut UP ……!

    The prime minister and some members of his cabinet went on a fact-finding mission to some institutions.

    The first to visit was to a school. There the teachers complained about a lack of funds, but the prime minister explained that unfortunately there was no budget available to help set up new classes or pay for extra teachers.

    Next they visited a university and there too the Dean complained that further research was hindered because they didn’t get enough funding. Once again the prime minister apologised and blamed it on the financial climate.

    The final visit was to a prison. There as well both the prisoners as the guards complained about the harsh conditions.

    Straight away the prime minister turned to his secretary and ordered him to make a full list of what was needed to improve the situation and to see to it that the funds for them would be transferred as soon as possible.

    On the way back home, his entourage asked the prime minister how it was that for the schools and university there was no money, whilst for the prison there was?

    “Simple”, said the prime minister,

    “to school, we have been already,

    to university we will no longer go,

    but to prison, there is a good chance we will land up there one day!”

    A pretty little girl named Jane was standing on the sidewalk in front of her home.

    Next to her was a basket containing a number of tiny creatures; in her hand was a sign announcing FREE KITTENS.

    Suddenly a line of big black cars pulled up beside her. Out of the lead car stepped a tall, grinning man.

    “Hi there little girl, I’m President Obama. What do you have in the basket?” he asked.

    “Kittens,” little Jane said.

    “How old are they?” asked Obama.

    Jane replied, “They’re so young, their eyes aren’t even open yet.”

    “And what kind of kittens are they?”

    “Democrats,” answered Jane with a smile.

    Obama was delighted. As soon as he returned to his car, he called his PR chief and told him about the little girl and the kittens. Recognizing the perfect photo op, the two men agreed that the president should return the next day and in front of the assembled media, have the girl talk about her discerning kittens.

    So the next day, Jane was again standing on the sidewalk with her basket of “FREE KITTENS,” when another motorcade pulled up, this time followed by vans from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Cameras and audio equipment were quickly set up, then Obama got out of his limo and walked over to little Jane.

    “Hello, again,” he said, “I’d love it if you would tell all my friends out there what kind of kittens you’re giving away.”

    “Yes sir,” Jane said. “They’re Republicans.”

    Taken by surprise, the president stammered:

    “But… but… yesterday, you told me they were DEMOCRATS.”

    Little Jane smiled and said,

    “I know. But today, they have their eyes open.”

    Rivka, a woman of over 80, asked her son:

    That evening Moshe took his mother to the kitchen and showed her the plates, cups, biscuits and cake, and he showed her a paper he had stuck on the fridge:

    1) Serve tea

    2) Serve biscuits

    3) Offer tea again

    4) Serve the cake

    That evening the ladies are all seated in the salon, and Rivka, the hostess, went to the kitchen.

    She reads the note on the fridge: 1) Serve tea.

    With a smile she takes the teapot to the salon and served the ladies their cup of tea.

    After they have shmoozed for some time, Rivka goes back to the kitchen and reads the note on the fridge: 1) Serve tea.

    With the flair of a gracious hostess Rivka takes the teapot to the salon and served the ladies their cup of tea.

    Corporate Shake-up

    If you’ve ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this!

    Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

    On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, “How much money do you make a week?”

    A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, “I make $400 a week. Why?”

    The CEO said, “Wait right here.” He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, “Here’s four weeks’ pay. Now GET OUT and don’t come back.”

    Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?”

    From across the room a voice said, “Pizza delivery guy from Domino’s.”

    Hy and Selma Epstein were having problems remembering things, so they decided to go to their doctor and get checked out. The doctor told them that they were physically just fine but might want to start writing notes to help them remember things. The Epsteins thanked the doctor and left.

    Later that night while watching TV, Hy got up from his chair and Selma asked, “Where are you going?”

    “To the kitchen.”

    “Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?” Selma asked.

    “Sure.”

    “I also would like whipped cream on top. I know you will forget that so you better write it down.”

    Paraprosdokians

    A paraprosdokian (from Greek,” meaning “beyond” and “expectation”) is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

    Some paraprosdokians not only change the meaning of an early phrase, but also play on the double meaning of a particular word, creating a syllepsis:

    * I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

    * Going to shul doesn’t make you a tzadik any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

    * The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on the list.

    * Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    * If I agreed with you we’d both be wrong.

    * We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

    * War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

    * Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    * The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    * Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good evening’, and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.

    * To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

    * A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

    * How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

    * Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    * Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    * I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks.

    * A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don’t need it.

    * Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says “If an emergency, notify:” I put “DOCTOR.”

    * I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

    * Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but checks when you say the paint is wet?

    * A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

    * You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

    * The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

    * Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.

    * A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

    * Hospitality: making your guests feel like they’re at home, even if you wish they were.

    * Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

    * Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.

    * I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.

    * I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila.

    * When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

    * You’re never too old to learn something stupid.

    * To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

    * Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

    * Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever.

    * A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it.

    * Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    Ahmed drove through red light and Moshe drove straight into the side of his car, causing a big dent. Ahmed was furious but Moshe calmed him down and said: “listen, all you have to do is blow hard into the exhaust, and the dent will pop back in place”.

    Ahmed liked the idea and started blowing with all his might.

    After a few minutes Mohamed came past and started laughing loud. “What’s so funny?” demanded Ahmed.

    “You are wasting your breath” replied Mohamed, “you allow all the air to escape, as you left your windows open”!

    Thank you Blinky. I’ll try and keep up the good work.

    Eclipse, your input reminds me of the following poster I once saw:

    Out of the gloom a voice came to me and said:

    “Smile, things could be worse”

    So, I smiled, and behold,

    Things did get worse!

    A blonde teenage girl, wanting to earn some extra money for the summer, decided to hire herself out as a ‘handy-woman’ and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighbourhood.

    She went to the front door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

    ‘Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,’ he said.

    Delighted, the girl quickly responded, ‘How about $50?’

    The man agreed and told her that the paintbrushes and everything she would need were in the garage.

    The man’s wife, hearing the conversation said to her husband, ‘Does she realize that our porch goes ALL the way around the house?’

    The wife replied, ‘you’re right. I guess I’m starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes.’

    Later that day, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

    ‘You’re finished already?’ the startled husband asked.

    ‘Yes, the blonde replied, and I even had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.’

    Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50.00 and handed it to her, along with a ten dollar tip.

    ‘And by the way,’ the blonde added, ‘it’s not a Porch, it’s a Lexus.

    Just right for this time of the year:

    Shul Restoration Project

    There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in making a dollar where he could. So he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for some time.Eventually the local shul decided to do a big restoration project. Jack put in a painting bid and, because his price was so competitive, he got the job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.

    Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the building and knocking Jack off the scaffold to land on the lawn.

    Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and cried, “Oh, G-d! Forgive me! What should I do?”

    And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke:

    “Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!”
