    A Jewish mother and her adult son go to the beach, the son, a poor swimmer goes out too far and gets in trouble. His mother sees him flailing and splashing but she can't swim "Help Help" she shouts to the lifeguard "my son, the doctor, is drownng"

      Hahaha 🤪 that was one of those jokes man, the part that I found most hilarious is her son her boy her little Bubala is drowning but she still has to mention “my son, the doctor” as in I raised him he’s my accomplishment there for his successes and accomplishments are also my accomplishments my successes. I know how a Jewish mother is I was hit by a car she was hit by a car (for sympathy reasons) I won the lawsuit with my attorneys she’s the one who actually won the lawsuit hell she was the flipping lawyer. Every day of my formative years she reminded me “I could have been a lawyer if it wasn’t for having to raise you and your siblings” ma you didn’t go to college “I could have gone to college but you kids” there’s no winning with a Jewish mother.

    This man seems really nice. He must be reformed. He’s not wearing a yarmulke. But he can still be Jewish. And really creative. My Literature of Holocaust professor told us not to tell anymore Jewish jokes. One of the first questions we had to answer in the literature class is what does a Jewish person look like? My Jewish friend told me bright. I can’t remember. Caring, generous, friendly and healthy. Yes and fun. Religious. Since people kept on telling me for most of my life that I don’t look Jewish, I decided that they had to look like my Dad’s side of the family. I had light hair. I wrote that a Jewish person has dark hair and eyes. Now I know how ignorant that answer is. I fell for the stereotype. I felt stupid. I learned a lot in the class about the European holocaust that I did not know before even though I was middle aged. You may say that I sound conceited, but now I know way more about Judaism. It is more than the holocaust, but traditions. My grandparents did not live in Europe during the twelve years of the Holocaust. We are Americans. So is Adam Sandler, Harrison Ford, Goldie Hahn and Lauren Bacall. You can learn more with Chaim Potok books. I think he went to Yeshiva school.

    Now here’s one. There was debate about who was the better preacher , the Pope of Rome, or Billy Graham. So , they rented Madison Square Gardens and both of them preached a sermon. After the Pope finished his sermon, 500 people came forward to receive Christ. After Billy Graham preached, 500 people came forward to receive Christ. Then Pat Boone stood up and sang that old classic gospel song “The Streets of Heaven are Paved with Gold” and 10,000 JEWS immediately joined the U.S. Airforce! LOL….

    The jokes made me smile but lots of attempts at being "PC" Exhausting. Also a "mensch" by it's literal definition can only be a man. I guess with todays limited linguistic array the short and simple way you can get the definition across is "a stand up guy". An honorable,honest,strong,responsible man etc... you get the idea.
    Before you wokers start kvetching regarding my definition,Im defining the word "mensch" which is a word that dates back hundreds maybe even a thousand or more years (not sure how long our ancestors have been speaking Yiddish and I dont believe it is a German word).

    The speaker references that we all needed something to laugh about because we just elected Trump. Here is a point worth noting. The difference between Trump and the other presidents is Trump doesn't do it behind your back. Jews should read more Malcolm X start with Ballots or bullets. It's appropriate.
