My local library was having a sale of books this week, and for those of you who know my love of Jewish wit and humour will appreciate the fact that I just had to buy "To Life! A treasury of Jewish Wisdom, Wit and Humour. compiled and illustrated by Topol" I'll just give you a taste of a couple, and if there is a demand, I might share a few more with you. It must the Jewish blood in me, I only had to pay 10p for the book!!!
Maureen Lipman tells the tale of:
A young Jewish actor phones home: "Mama, Mama, I'm so excited. I've got the part! I'm playing the husband!" Mama replies: "So you couldn't get a speaking part?"
and just one more before bed . . . .
Sammy Davis Jnr was asked what his handicap was, he replied, "I'm a coloured, one-eyed Jew - do I need anything else?"
Shalom and Good Night
