Hymie met Abie in the street on the way to schul. "Hello Abie, how's it by you?"
"Vell, Hymie, to tell you the truth, I've a big problem with mine son Myron."
Says Hymie, "So vots the problem?"
Abie replies, "Vell, Myron vent to Israel on holiday, and ven he came home, I found out, he vas converted to
Christianity.... vot should I do?"
"Funny you should mention", says Hymie. "Mine Boychik Selwyn, he also vent to Israel on holiday, and guess
vot? Ven he returned, he vos also converted to Christianity. I'm not sure vot to do about it".
Abie suggests that, as they are near Schul, they should consult Rabbi Greenspan. Thus agreed, they tell their
respective stories to the Rabbi.
Rabbi Greenspan responds, "Funny you should mention it, but mine son, Moshe, also vent to Israel for his
holidays, and guess vot? He vos also converted to Christianity!!! I am at my wits end, I don't know vot to do!"
By consensus, the three gentlemen decide that the only option they have is prayer. As they are praying, a
thundercloud appears in an otherwise clear blue sky. A thunderbolt flickers, and a voice booms from above:
"FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION IT ................"
On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the
compartment. "You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lips
make your above the rest of us. Look at me...I'm me, I have Italian blood, French blood, a little Indian blood, and
some Swedish blood. What do you say to that?"
The Englishman replied, "Very sporting of your mother."
