I think you'll enjoy the laugh...

Ariel Sharon is in Washington for meetings with G. W. There is to be a state dinner, so Laura decides to bring in a special kosher chef and have a truly Jewish meal.

At dinner that night, the first course is served and it is matzo ball soup. George W. looks at the bowl, and after learning what it is called he tells an aide that he can't eat such a grossly named, strange looking brew. The aide says that Mr. Sharon will be insulted if he doesn't at least taste it. Not wanting to ruffle any feathers, George W. gingerly lowers his spoon into the bowl and ladles a piece of matzo ball and some broth. He hesitates, then swallows -- and a grin appears on his face. He digs right in and finishes the whole bowl.


"That was delicious," he says to Sharon. "Do the Jews eat any other parts of the Matzo, or just the balls?"

I'd like to see him choke on a pupik.

i think someone should have this mans schedule when he does have those eclipes of the brain.

maybe he dropped acid before the dinner, and also when he does have those fits, shouldn't someone catch him before his head hits the floor. you know, i personally don't like to hear that he spouts off like that with foreign government leaders.

no wonder they laugh behind his back. what an ass!! i also can't believe that
his wife doesn't inform him of making a goof of himself before any dinners, speechs or where ever this man goes.

does he need a collar and dogtags to prove that he has above intellegence more that the IQ of the mentally challanged. isn't that what a wife is suppose to do. I know that my particular spazms of speech are by far the worst but this is the "man" representing our country. makes we want to take a gun and go postal on his butt.

ever since the speech he made to the high school students of a few cities, did he say that you don't need an education, or get a college degree to be president. "look at me".

that will forever be burned and embedded in my thoughts for the rest of my life. hopefully this man goes down with the next election.

then we have these idiots again killing innocent folks trying to make a better government for IRAQ.

So, what you're saying is, there's no such thing as a matzo animal? Then where the hell do the balls come from?..................

Oh no, that part of the joke is real.

Whew! You had me going there for a minute.........

And for those of you who don't believe in the existence of matzoh balls, here's a little story that I gleaned from the Internet:


Many times I have been upset by people who seem to
think that gefilte fish is some kind of mixture you
make in the kitchen rather than one of Hashem's
creatures. This has led me to explain exactly what a
gefilte fish is. So once again> here goes.
Each year as soon as the frost on the Great Gefilte
Lakes (located Upatate New York somewhere in the
Catskill Mountains) is thin enough to break the
surface, Frum fishermen set out to "catch" gefilte
fish. Now unlike your normal fish, gefilte fish can
not be caught with a rod and a reel or your standard
bait.
The art of catching gefilte fish was handed down for
hundreds, maybe thousands of years. For all I know
Moses used to go gefilte fish catching. I'm sure that
the Great Rambam (Maimonides) when he wasn't busy
playing doctor> spent his leisure time G/F fishing.
Enough already, you say, so how is it done? Well you
go up to the edge of lake with some Matzoh. Now this
is very important!! It has to be Shmurah Matzoh or the
fish will not be attracted. You stand at the edge of
the lake and whistle and say "here boy", "here boy".
The fish just can't resist the smell of the Matzoh
They come in mass to the edge of the lake where they
jump into the jars and are bottled on the spot.
Again you must remember that there are two kinds of
gefilte fish. The strong and the weak. The weak are
your> standard fish which are in a loose "broth" (it
is actually the lake water). Now the strong are
special. They seem to be in a "jell". These fish are
actually imported from the Middle East where they are
caught in the dead sea. They have to be strong to be
able to swim through that "jell".
Last year a well meaning gentleman tried to correct
me by stating, "Reb, shouldn't they be saying Here
Boychic". I didn't have the heart to tell him, Boychic
is a Yiddish word and Gefilte Fish don't understand
Yiddish! Only Hebrew and surprisingly, English! There
has been a big debate as to whether to use the Hebrew
or English in the US. With a big break from tradition,
shockingly the English is accepted by almost all G/F
fishermen. Some still insist on using the Hebrew and
consider the use of "Here Boy" as Reform and not
Halachicly acceptable. However the Congress of OU
Rabbis (who have to be present at the lakes when the
fish are bottled) uniformly accept "here boy"! The
time of the catch is very important! The fish can not
be caught before Purim is over or the fish are
considered Chametz! Besides the fish know when Pesach
is coming and will not respond to the Matzoh before
the proper> time.
I am still a little bothered by which end of the fish
is the head and which the tail (not to mention that I
am not sure where their eyes are). This is a small
price to pay the luxury of eating this delicacy.
Have you ever had the baby G/F? Oy, they are so cute
that I feel a little guilty eating them! Have a great
Pesach and hope that the Matzoh doesn't affect you
like Pepto Bismol or worse yet, prunes! Shalom, Reb
Sherry MORE STORY Oy,I forgot to mention about the
fish swimming up stream. I didn't think it was that
important, but I have got this Yenta sitting next to
me that is married to some machugina dentist from some
hick town that keeps hocking me in chinic "they swim
up stream , they swim up stream".
Alright so I had to get her off mine cup. Go away >
Yenta and mind your own business. If you don't like
the way I tell the story, tell it yourself.
You know I think that I just discovered the
definition of a Jewish wife. It's someone that nudges
you to do something and then when you finally do it
just to get them off your back, they become mavins and
tell you how you should have done it! OK not all
Jewish wives just the one who has been sitting next to
me for almost 23 years! Shalom, Reb Sherry

That reminds me. You know why there are very few Jews in prison? Because they eat lox.

When I was a wee lad I thought gefilte fish was called "filthy fish."

This rabbi from Brooklyn takes a group from his congregation on a tour of Paris. He arranges to have all the meals catered by a kosher chef. They have activities planned for the group for most of the trip, but there's one "free afternoon." That afternoon the rabbi starts thinking. I'm so far from home, he thinks. I feel like going wild and doing something I could never do at home. I know it's a terrible sin, but I have this incredible craving to try pork. Just this once.

So the rabbi goes to a bistrot and orders a suckling pig. While he waits for the forbidden food he sips a glass of wine. Just then, two members of his congregation happen to be strolling by the restaurant. They look in the window and see the rabbi. They go in the restaurant and approach the table. "Rabbi, what a surprise running into you," says Mrs. Levine.

"Well, I just thought I'd rest and have a nice glass wine," the rabbi replies. He hopes they'll leave, but it's too late. The waiter arrives with the rabbi's suckling pig.

The Levines are shocked. "Rabbi, what's this?" asks Mr. Levine.

The rabbi thinks quick.

"These French are something else," says the rabbi. "I ordered a baked apple, and look how elaborate they serve it!"

When Bush met Welsh teenage singer Charlotte Church a while back he asked her where she was from. She said she was from Wales. Bush asked her what state that's in.

No joke.
