To understand fully this story, you must realize that in Soviet Russia, food was very scarce, problems were numerous, and drink, that is, alcoholic beverages, were in supply. The generation that had to with stand the Stalin and Krushchev regimes bolstered themselves with alcohol. This alcohol was cheap in cost and cheap in quality, yet it served it's purpose. One of the many Russian imigrants to reach the shores of America, continued on in the tradition of his homeland. He would buy the cheapest alcohol available, 96 percent alcohol, and he would drink this on a daily basis. At the age of 96, he was suddenly rushed to the emergency room of the hospital. Feeling weaken and ill, the doctors monitored his condition and finally anounced to him that he had water on his chest. "Hmmpf! I knew that the 4% water in that alcohol would never do me any good!"

Do you know why are there so many Cohen's in the Israeli telephone book?
Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
I married Miss Right.
It's not true that married men live longer than single men.
A man was complaining to a friend: "I had it all - money, a beautiful
house, a big car, the love of a beautiful woman; then, Pow!, it was all gone!"
A man rushes into his house and yells to his wife:
I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months - Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all.
Personally, I think one of the greatest things about marriage is that
as both husband and father, I can say anything I want to around the
house.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can
spend. A husband said to his wife, "No, I don't hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine."
A man meets a genie. The genie tells him he can have whatever he wants,
provided that his mother-in-law gets double. How do most men define marriage? A very expensive way to get your laundry done free.
A couple was having a discussion about family finances. Finally
the husband exploded, "If it weren't for my money, the house wouldn't be
here!" A man said his credit card was stolen but he decided not to report it because the thief was spending less than his wife did. The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it - once. Words to live by: Do not argue with a spouse who is packing your parachute.
First guy (proudly): "My wife's an angel!" Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are beautiful!!!! from the October 1998 Edition of the Jewish Magazine
