A comedian backed by the Mafia was doing a show in New York. In the audience was group of foreign religious leaders, in town for a UN conference. Oddly, that group was very vocal in their heckling of the poor comic. Particularly vociferous was the Hindu leader from India.

Noticing this from offstage, the Mafia Don told one of his thugs to make his way to their section and menacingly “encourage” them that they should “shaddap already”.

The thug asked the Don if there was one of the group who should receive… “extra-strength” encouragement. The Don replied “Yes. Weigh down upon the swami ribber.”

I was lying on a blanket on the beach when a witch crawled from the water and lay upon the sand. She was covered in broad leaves of seaweed that looked just like lettuce and baked herself in the sun till she turned red as a tomato. I couldn’t keep my eyes turned away as I had never seen a bakin’ lettuce-and-tomato sand witch before.

I saw a Playboy cartoon when I was a kid. Holmes and Watson were walking by a building shaped like a woman’s spread legs, and the door was a giant lemon. The caption was, ‘A lemon entry, my dear Watson.’

Appropriately, this reminds me of one of my favorite Jewish jokes:

The chief rabbi of the synagogue at Yom Kippur is beating his breast and crying, tears running down his cheeks “I’m nothing, Lord! I’m nothing! I’m absolutely nothing!” Next to him the chief donor to the synagogue, a wealthy banker kneels down and hits himself on the chest and yells “I’m nothing! God forgive me for thinking I’m something. I’m not. I’m nothing!” Whereupon Shlomo a poor man who sweeps the synagogue out after services and halls trash gets down on his knees and yells “I’m nothing! I’m nothing.” The rabbi observes this, elbows the banker and whispers “Look who thinks he’s nothing.”
