    A couple arguing with each other all the time went to see the Rabbi.

    "Why did you scratch your husband? Don't you know that the man is the head of the family?"

    The quarrelsome woman lowered her eyes and said, "Rabbi, it's not allowed to scratch one's head?"

    Maurice and Sarah were getting old and Maurice felt his wife was losing her hearing. He decided to stage a test. One day, as Sarah was reading the paper, he stood a distance behind her chair and asked, in a conversational voice, "Sarah, can you hear me?" Silence. He moved towards her. "Can you hear me?" Still silence. Finally, he moved directly behind her chair and bent over, just inches from her ear, "Can you hear me?" Sarah replied, "For the third time, Maurice, yes I can!"

    An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy. After examining it, he called the curator of the Israel museum in Jerusalem.

    "I've just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died at heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed.

    The curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out."

    A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist, "You were right about both the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?"

    "Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."

    A big executive boarded a New York-to-Chicago train. He explained to the porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, and I want you to be sure and wake me at 3:00 a.m. to get off in Buffalo. Regardless of what I say, get me up, for I have some important business there."

    The next morning he awakened in Chicago. He found the porter and really poured it on with abusive language.

    After he had left, someone said, "How could you stand there and take that kind of talk from that man?"

    To which the porter responded, "That ain't nothing. You should have heard what the man said that I put off in Buffalo."

    Mark Twain was once asked the difference between a mistake and a blunder. He explained it this way:

    "If you walk into a restaurant and walk out with someone's silk umbrella and leave your own cotton one, that is a mistake.

    But if you pick up someone's cotton umbrella and leave your own silk one, that's a blunder."

    Three crocodiles lie on the river bank. One says: "We were green once."

    Another one says: "Yes, and we could swim."

    The third one says, indignantly: "Enough of your nonsense. Stop wasting your time. Let's fly around and gather some honey!"

    Goldblatt was showing off. "I bought a hearing aid yesterday. It cost me two thousand bucks, but it is state of the art."

    "What kind is it?" his friend asked.

    "A quarter of twelve," was the answer.

    A mild-mannered man once wandered into a restarant and ordered roast chicken. The waiter said, "Take my advice and have the boiled beef today."

    "No, thank you. I want the roast chicken."

    "Listen to me. The roast chicken is not for you. Have the boiled beef."

    "What is this? Don't you suppose I know what I want? Bring me the roast chicken at once!"

    "I will not do that. I know better than you what you want."

    "Listen," said the diner, striking the table with a resounding blow, "get me the manager!"

    The manager, drawn by the noise, came bustling over. "What the hell is going on here?"

    The waiter turned to him and said, "This guy didn't come here to eat. He came here to start an argument with me."

    "I have some bad news and some worse news," said the doctor.

    "Well, might as well give me the bad news first, then the worse news," replied the patient.

    "The lab called with your test results," the doctor said. "They show that you have 24 hours to live."

    "24 hours! That's terrible! What could be worse than that?"

    "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday," replied the doctor.

    Abe goes to see his Rabbi.

    "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."

    The Rabbi askes, "What's wrong, Abe?"

    Abe replies, "My wife is poisoning me."

    The Rabbi is very surprised by this and asks, "How can that be?"

    Abe then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?"

    The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her. I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."

    A week later the Rabbi calls Abe and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"

    Abe anxiously says, "Yes."

    "Take the poison."
