1. The High Holidays have absolutely nothing to do with marijuana.
2. Where there's smoke, there may be smoked salmon.
3. No meal is complete without leftovers.
4. Tsuris is a Yiddish word that means your child is marrying someone who isn't Jewish.
5. According to Jewish dietary law, pork and shellfish may be eaten only
in Chinese restaurants.
6. A schmata is a dress that your husband's ex is wearing.
7. You need 10 men for a minyan, but only four in polyester pants and
white shoes for pinochle.
8. One mitzvah can change the world; two will just make you tired.
9. It's not who you know, it's who you know had a nose job.
10. After the destruction of the Second temple, God created Loehmann's.
11. If your name were Lipschitz, you'd change it too.
12. Anything worth saying is worth repeating a thousand times.
13. Never take a front row seat at a bris.
14. Next year in Jerusalem. The year after that, how about a nice cruise?
15. Never leave a restaurant empty handed.
16. Spring ahead, fall back, winter in Boca Raton.
17. WASPs leave and never say good-bye; Jews say good-bye and never leave.
18. Always whisper the names of diseases.
19. If it tastes good, it's probably not kosher.
20. The important Jewish holidays are the ones on which
alternate-side-of-the-street parking is suspended.
21. Without Jewish mothers, who would need therapy?
22. Before you read the menu, read the prices. If you have to ask the
price, you can't afford it. But if you can afford it, make sure to tell
everybody what you paid.
23. The only thing more important than a good education is a good parking spot at the mall.
24. Laugh now, but one day you'll be driving a Lexus and eating dinner at four in the afternoon in Florida.

This is from Rick Barrett:
What is LOVE?
LOVE
A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of 4 to 8 year olds. "What does love
mean?" the answers they got were broader and deeper
than anyone could have imagined. See what you think?
When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa
does it for her now all the time, even when his
hands got arthritis too. That's love. Rebecca- age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name
is different. You just know that your name is safe
in their mouths. Billy- age 4
Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts
on shaving Cologne and they go out and smell each
other. Kari- age 5
Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your French Fries without making them give
you any of theirs. Chrissy- age 6
Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Terri- age 4
Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy
and she takes a sip giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK. Danny- age 7
Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you
get tired of kissing, you still want to be together
and you talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss. Emily- age 8
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas
if you stop opening presents and listen. Bobby- age
7 (wow!)
If you want to learn to love better, you should
start with a friend who you hate. Nikka- age 6
Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,
then he wears it everyday. Noelle- age 7
Love is like a little old woman and a little old
man who are still friends even after they know each
other so well. Tommy- age 6
During my piano recital, I was on stage and I was
scared. I looked at all the people watching me and
saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one
doing that. I wasn't scared anymore. Cindy- age 8
My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see
anyone else kissing me to sleep at night. Clare- age 6
Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of
chicken. Elaine- age 5
Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty
and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
Chris- age 7
Love is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone all day. Mary Ann- age 4
When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and
down and little stars come out of you Karen- age 7
You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU" unless you
mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a
lot. People forget. Jessica- age 8
And the winner was a 4 year old child whose next
door neighbor was an elderly man who had just lost
his wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little
boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top
of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's
mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbor, the
little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
