jokes

I listen to talks by Rabbis sometimes.  Today, Rabbi Y Y Jacobson told some jokes in an interview about relationships. This interview won't be available long, so I hope you get to listen to it by the end of the weekend.

Here's one of the jokes he told.


Two Sides to the Family

A bar mitzvah boy, preparing his bar mitzvah speech, asked his mom about their ancestry. Mom spoke of her illustrious background, all the way back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
“And where did they come from?”
 
"From Adam and Eve."
 
"And they?"
 
“G-d created them.”
 
The boy wrote it down and then went to dad. “Where do we come from?” asks the boy.
 
“Ah, we come from the apes. After millions years of evolution we evolved into humans.”
 
The confused boy comes running back to his mom. “Mom, you said we come Adam, Eve and G-d. Dad says we come from the apes…”
 
“No contradiction here, son,” she said. “I was talking about my side of the family. He was talking about his side of the family.”
