Malka, the shul gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the shul's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Moshe, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only drinking establishment one afternoon.

She emphatically told Moshe and several others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. Moshe, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.

Later that evening, Moshe quietly parked his pickup in front of Malka's house.......

...... and left it there all night.

The young couple invited their elderly Rabbi for Shabbos dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the Rabbi asked their son what they were having.

"Goat," the little boy replied. "

Goat?" replied the startled rabbi, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner.'"

Morty visits Dr. Saul, the veterinarian, and says, "My dog, has a problem."

Dr. Saul says, "So tell me about the dogand the problem."

"It's a Jewish dog. His name is Irving and he can talk," says Morty.

"He can talk?" the doubting doctor asks.

"Watch this!" Morty points to the dog and commands: "Irving, Fetch!"

Irving, the dog, begins to walk toward the door, then turns around and says, "So why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I'm nothing. And you only call me when you want something. And then you make me sleep on the floor, with my arthritis. You give me this fahkahkta food with all the salt and fat, and you tell me it's a special diet. It tastes like dreck! YOU should eat it yourself! And do you ever take me for a decent walk? NO, it's out of the house, a short pish, and right back home. Maybe if I could stretch out a little, the sciatica wouldn't kill me so much! I should roll over and play dead for real for all you care!"

Dr. Saul is amazed, "This is remarkable! What could be the problem?"

Morty says, "He has a hearing problem! I said 'Fetch', not 'Kvetch'".

It was in the great market in ancient Rome that Marcus Brutus Goldstein, a poor tailor, made Togas and sold them at his stall in the marketplace.

As was his wont, he shouted out his wares for sale, "Togas! - Finest Togas in all Rome!" he would shout, but alas, business was not good.

Finally, a friend suggested that since the weather was getting rather cold, he could increase business by lining the garments with a fine quality wool lining.

Marcus agreed and proceeded to line his Togas using the finest quality Kashmir lining.

And so, from that day forward, he could be heard

loudly and proudly proclaiming throughout the market place, "Kashmir in togas!"

An elderly Jewish woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the the artist, "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold and diamond Rolex."

"But you are not wearing any of those things."

"I know," she said. "It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away, and I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelry."
