Ken Carroll, living in Shanghai, tried to post the following funny story as a Comment, but got blocked with a note saying that spam was suspected and that he should contact me. He did. I tried to post this and got the same message--that I should contact me. This at a time when I was trying to cure myself of talking to myself.
Before someone gets a funny idea, this will be the second and final posting on Irish/Jewish jokes. Try leaving them as comments and see if the Typepad humor censor allows it. But I'll post no more of them. There is an endless supply of these jokes..
A rabbi was playing poker with 2 priests in Dublin when the cops showed up. One of the cops says, "Father Kelly, have you just been engaged in illegal gambling?"
Father Kelly winces, and mutters under his breadth, "Please God, forgive me for what I am about to do." He looks at the cop and says, "Absolutely not, officer."
The cop turns to the second priest and says, "Father O Brien, were you gambling just now?"
Father O Brien looks towards heaven, pauses for a second, bites his lip, and says painfully, "No... Not at all, officer."
The cop turns to the Rabbi and says, "And what about you, Rabbi Goldberg. Have you been gambling?"
The Rabbi, looking perplexed, says "Gambling, officer? With who?"
BTW, Shel, last time on your world tour you never made it to Shanhghai. Next time look us up. Things are starting to happen here!
If you have another joke, please try posting as a comment.
