Just when you thought it was safe to explore the Information Highway, Janet Cooper recently forwarded the following bit of humor to those Blums with e-mail addresses. In a joke that takes us back to those bygone days when "Ackhouse Doody House" tickled our funny bones, Janet continues the great tradition of Jewish comics. No, not Jack Benny, George Burns or even Billy Crystal; more like that great Jewish comedian Zeppo Marx. Throw away your joke book, Jan, and put it with Aunt Minnie's cookbook. Here it goes, word for word: | Go Filter Fish

As Moses and the children of Israel were crossing the Red Sea,
the children of Israel began to complain to Moses of how thirsty they were after walking
so far. Unfortunately, they were not able to drink from the walls of water on either side
of them, as they were made up of salt-water. Then, a fish from that wall of water told Moses that he protect and his family heard the complaints of the people, but that they through their own gills could remove the salt from the water and force it out of their mouths like a fresh water fountain for the Israelites to drink from as they walked by. Moses accepted this kindly fish's offer. But before the fish and his family began to help, they told Moses they had a demand. They and their descendants had to be always present at the seder meal that would be established to commemorate the Exodus, since they had a part in the story. When Moses agreed to this, he gave them their name which remains how they arek nown to thisvery day, for he said to them, "Go Filter Fish!" |
