DO POP IN PUB. ALL ARE WELCOME
bigjohn75 - Sun, 01 Jan 06 :
Four Jewish brothers left home for college. They became successful doctors,
and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they were chatting after
having dinner together.
They discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly
mother who lived far away in another city.
The 1st said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
The 2nd said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house."
The 3rd said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600 with chauffeur."
The 4th said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the Torah.
And you know, too, she can't read anymore because she her eyesight is poor.
Well, I met this Rabbi who told me about a parrot that can recite the
entire Torah. It took twenty rabbis 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge
to contribute $50,000 a year for twenty years to the temple. Let me tell
you...it was worth it. All Mama has to do is name a chapter and verse and
the parrot will recite it."
The other brothers were impressed. After the holidays Mama sent out her
Thank You notes. She wrote:
Milton, The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have
to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.
Menachim, You give me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold
50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly
blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.
Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered,
so I never use the Mercedes... and the driver you hired is a Nazi. The
thought was good. Thanks.
Dearest Melvin, You were the only son to have the good sense to give a
little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you.
Mama.
