A Rabbi's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and
asked for a raise.
After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the Rabbi's family
expanded, so would his paycheque.
After six children, this started to get expensive and the congregation
decided to hold another meeting to discuss the Rabbi's expanding salary.
A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the
Rabbi's additional children were costing the synagogue, and how much more it
could potentially cost.
After listening to them for about an hour, the Rabbi rose from his chair and
spoke,
"Children are a gift from God and we will take as many gifts as He gives
us."
Silence fell on the congregation. In the back of the synagogue, little old
Mrs. Goldstein struggled to stand, and finally said
in her frail voice,
'Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear
rubbers.'
The entire congregation said, AMEN.

Picture and Intro
The intention is to make you smile every day; if you get a good belly laugh; so much the better. Every day we will deliver a short(ish) joke or one amusing photograph or cartoon. There will be no endless lists of jokes or photographs... if you don't find it amusing... there's always tomorrow.Being totally 'politically correct' is impossible with humour (or in life for that matter), and we have no intention of being that boring. Whilst there is no intention to cause offence to anyone, with the wide choice of topics, it's possible that your nationality/religion/political inclination... will supply the punch line, or butt, of a joke. If you're likely to take offence, please do not subscribe, stay sad. For the rest of us, let's laugh at ourselves, as well as others.
The contributions come from a variety of sources; some are 'home grown', some submitted by friends, and from now, some will be from YOU. If you wish to contribute a joke, amusing photograph, or cartoon, please submit it using this form.
