Following The Sign
- Teacher: Why are you late?
- Little Johnny: Because of the sign.
- Teacher: What sign?
- Little Johnny: The one that says, School Ahead, Go Slow. That's what I did.

It's the first day of school and the teacher told her kindergarten class:
- If anyone has to go to the bathroom, you should hold up two fingers.
After a moment of quiet thought, Little Johnny asked:
- How will that help?
A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner "Mom& Pop" grocery picking out a pretty good size box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over, and, trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do.
- Oh, no laundry - the boy said.
- I'm going to wash my dog.
- But you shouldn't use this to wash your dog. It's very powerful and if you wash your dog in this, he'll get sick. In fact, it might even kill him. But the boy was not to be stopped and carried the detergent to the counter and paid for it, even as the grocer still tried to talk him out of washing his dog. About a week later the boy was back in the store to buy some candy. The grocer asked the boy how his dog was doing.
- Oh, he died - the boy said.
The grocer, trying not to be an "I-told-you-so", said he was sorry the dog died but added:
- I tried to tell you not to use that detergent on your dog.
Well, the boy replied:
- I don't think it was the detergent that killed him.
- Oh? What was it then?
- I think it was the spin cycle!
Jones came into the office an hour late for the third time in one week and found the boss waiting for him.
- What's the story this time, Jones? - he asked sarcastically.
- Let's hear a good excuse for a change.
Jones sighed:
- Everything went wrong this morning, Boss. The wife decided to drive me to the station. She got ready in ten minutes, but then the drawbridge got stuck. Rather than let you down, I swam across the river (look, my suit's still damp), ran out to the airport, got a ride on Mr. Thompson's helicopter, landed on top of Radio City Music Hall, and was carried here piggyback by one of the Rockettes.
- You'll have to do better than that, Jones - said the boss, obviously disappointed.
- No woman can get ready in ten minutes.
After many years of hard work, Joe rewarded himself with a long, luxurious stay at an exclusive Carribean resort. While relaxing on the beach, he was surprised to see a former high school classmate who he hadn't seen since they graduated. His old friend had been something of a "burnout" in high school, and this was the last place Joe expected to see him.
Joe approached the man, and seized his hand:
- Pete, it's Joe. From high school. It's sure been a long time. You look great! You must really be doing okay for yourself.
- I am - whispered Pete.
- I am a partner with a very successful law firm. But don't tell mother. She got the idea that I was a drug dealer back when I was in high school, and she would be terribly disappointed if she figured out how I really make my money.
Taylor was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed by the court to defend an indigent defendant. The judge ordered Taylor:
- You are to confer with the defendant in the hallway, and give him the best legal advice you can.
After a time, Taylor re-entered the courtroom alone.
When the judge asked where the defendant had gone, Taylor replied:
- You asked me to give him good advice. I found out that he was guilty, so I told him to split.
A Jewish couple, are sitting together on an airplane flying to the Far East. Over the public address system, the Captain announces:
- Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning, and this plane will be going down momentarily. Luckily, I see an island below us that should be able to accommodate our landing. This island appears to be uncharted; I am unable to find it on our maps. So the odds are that we will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for a very long time, if not for the rest of our lives.
A few minutes later the plane lands safely on the island, whereupon Morris turns to his wife and asks:
- Esther, did we pay our pledge to the Yeshiva yet?
- No Morris! - she responded.
Morris smiles, then asks:
- Esther, did we pay our UJA pledge?
- Oy no, I forgot to send the check!!
Now Morris laughs.
- One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send our Temple Building Fund check this month?
- Oy Morris I forgot that one too!
Now Morris is practically choking with laughter.
Esther asks Morris:
- So what are you smiling and laughing about?
Morris responds:
- They'll find us.
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men saying the following:
- Emma come first. Denna I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Denna I come once-a more.
- You fowl-mouthed swine - retorted the lady indignantly.
- In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!
- Hey, coola down lady - said the man.
- Imma justa tellun my friend howa to spella Mississippi.
