Jewish joke

 





Sometimes a good joke simply comes one's way. And maybe it's a little too perfect to be terribly funny. But it's right there! And with this one, as a Jew, I could especially appreciate its tailor made quality. 

I was technically the author of this joke, but fundamentally it wrote itself.

Or...

Perhaps there was an even greater author!





Anyway, it's all pretty brief, so pay close attention.

The following DVD (pictured below) was left to the more unused side of our front desk, across from The Friends of the Library Used Bookstore. It is not an item from our collection, and presumably it was left for us where I found it for reasons that will soon become clear.

This is the DVD as I found it:













I picked up the DVD wondering why it was there. It felt light. I opened it. This is what I found:















Empty.

Excitedly I held it aloft and proclaimed, Jewishly:



"There is no Son of God!"





I did this six or seven times to not much laughter, either because my audience didn't even know it was a joke, or, as Christians, didn't appreciate it, or people simply found it wasn't funny. Six of one...


And then, as eventually happens with all that delights or interests me at my library, I, like a neighborhood cat, grabbed it in my teeth and brought it to lay at your door.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
