The Yeshiva Boy's Shidduch

A Yeshiva boy is about to go on his first shidduch (date), and is nervous about what to talk about. He asks his teacher for advice. The teacher replies: ``My son, there are three subjects that always work. These are food, family, and philosophy.''

The Yeshiva boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain. Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other for a long time, as the boy's nervousness builds. He remembers his teacher's advice, and chooses the first topic. He asks the girl: ``Do you like potato pancakes?''

She says ``No,'' and the silence returns.

After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of his teacher's suggestion and turns to the second item on the list. He asks, ``Do you have a brother?''

Again, the girl says, ``No'' and there is silence once again.

The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his teacher's advice and asks the girl the following question: ``If you had a brother, would he like potato pancakes?'

"Kenneth," the boy replies.

HOW TO STAY SAFE IN THE WORLD TODAY

Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20 percent of all fatal accidents.

Do not stay at home because 17 percent of all accidents occur in the home. (that's 37 % already)

Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14 percent of all accidents occur to pedestrians. (now that's 51%)

Avoid traveling by air, accidents involve these forms of transportation. (that's 67%)

Of the remaining 33 percent, 32 percent of all deaths occur in hospitals. Above all else avoid hospitals.

You will be pleased to learn that only 0.01 percent of all deaths occur in a synagogue, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders.

Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is in Synagogue services.

Torah Study is even safer. The number of deaths during Torah Study is too small to register.

For safety's sake, go to the synagogue as often as possible, and attend Torah Study. It could save your life!

From my uncle Max

An older, white-haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with a beautiful young woman at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.

The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring. The old man said, "No, I'd like to see something more special."

At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought out another ring.

"Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000" the jeweler said.

The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.

The old man, seeing this, said, "We'll take it."

The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man said, "By check, but I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds. I'll pick the ring up Monday afternoon." he said.

Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. "There's no money in that account."

"I know," said the old man, "But let me tell you about my weekend."
