This was an actual conversation that took place between my wife and my 7 yr old son just now.
My son replied “I don’t want my future wife to love me very much. I want my future wife to help me fold my laundry.”
I busted out laughing. But the end result is that now I have to fold my own laundry going forward.
A man came home from a poker game…
“You’ll have to pack all your things, dear,” he ad-libbed. “I’ve just lost you in a card game.” “How did you manage to do that?” “It wasn’t easy, honest. I had to fold with a royal flush.”
Last night my wife and I argued for hours as to whose turn it was to do the laundry.

Why are origami artists terrible at poker?
Little Johnny wants a BMX bike, so he gets down on his knees and writes a letter to God….
He carefully folds the letter and leaves it at the end of the bed. He lies down under the covers and thinks for a moment. One month is too long to be good. He gets up and tears up the letter and writes another one. ‘Dear God. If I’m good for one week will you get me a BMX bike.’ He folds the letter and then thinks ‘No. One week is too long.’ He writes another letter. ‘Dear God. If I’m good for one day, will you get me a BMX bike.’ Looking at the letter he screws it up. One day is too long. He jumps out of his window and heads to the local church. He grabs the statue of Mary, rolls it up in a blanket, rushes back home and shoves it under his bed. He then writes another letter. ‘Dear God. If you want to see your mother again……’
Why did the Origami Artist never win a poker match?

Clerk: “what’s your occupation?”
2nd man: “Seamstress.”
Clerk: (looks in book) “ok that’s $407 a week, here you go.”
2nd man: “ Woah, wait a minute, he got almost $800! For the same job.”
Clerk: “ Sir, he was a dieselfitter, a higher skilled occupation.”
2nd man: “He wasn’t no dieselfitter, he worked next to me in the skirt factory. I’d stitch in the elastic, he’d hold them up to fold them , check them and said “Dees-ul-fit her!” Before he folded them.”
A Middle Aged Man Down on His Luck Finds an Old Lamp…
“I’d like $10 million,” says the man. “Okay,” the Genie replies, “but just know your wife will receive $100 million.” “Yes, I know,” the man says. “For my second wish, I want to have devastatingly good looks.”
The Genie replies, “Okay, but realize your wife will be 10 times as beautiful, irresistible to all men.” “Yes, that’s okay,” the man consents.
“Done,” says the Genie. “And what would you like for your final wish?”
Without hesitation the man blurts out, “I’d like a mild heart attack, please!”

“A Fottle.”
“What else do you have?”
“A folding carton.”
“What do you call it?”
“A Farton.”
She snickered and said, “Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude.”
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.
Lawyer and the devil
“I’ve got an offer for you” the devil explains
“Go on….” Says the young lawyer
“Well from here out your practice will grow 10 fold, your partners will all respect you, your clients will all love you, you’ll have a golden tongue with any jury, you’ll get all the vacation days you could ever want, and you’ll live to be 100″ replies the devil…”all I ask is that you wife’s soul, your children’s souls, and your children’s children’s souls rot in hell for eternity”
The lawyer leans back in his chair and inquisitively asks, “what’s the catch?”
A young cowboy walks into the saloon.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asked the old cowboy, “If you ain’t gonna eat that, mind if I do?”
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, “Nah, go ahead.”
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning in it with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the congee back into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, “Yep, that’s as far as I got, too.”
My friend just became the World Champion in competitive origami.
There was once an old trapper drinking in a tavern.
The first taker stepped up to the bar. “Alright, old man. I’ll take your bet.” Blindfolded, the old trapper feels the pelt. “Otter… killed with bow.” The taker laughs and buys the old man a drink.
More followed “White tail deer, killed by musket! Squirrel, by snare!” It wasn’t long until every trapper and hunter in the tavern had their turn. Drunkenly, the old man stumbled home and crawled into bed.
He woke in the morning with a splitting headache, a fat lip and a black eye! “I don’t remember getting into a fight! I did my trick last night and got real drunk, but I know I didn’t fight anyone!”
His wife yells and says “I did it, you old coot! You crawled into bed, shoved your hand down my panties and said ‘Skunk, killed with an axe!'”

Man: That’s fine.
Genie: Ok. What is your third wish?
Man: I want you to beat me half to death.
A woman living on a shtetl in Poland goes to see her rabbi
The rabbi says, “Kreplach? He’s afraid of the meat dumplings we make for Rosh Hashanah?”
She nods. “Yes. I’ve tried to tell him there’s nothing to be afraid of, but whenever he sees kreplach he runs out of the room screaming. I want to help him learn there isn’t anything to be scared of. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?”
The rabbi leans back in his chair, strokes his beard, and thinks for a few minutes. Finally, he says, “Bring him into the kitchen before you start making kreplach. Show him the steps to make a single piece. Do them one at a time and explain each one slowly and clearly. At the end, he’ll see that there isn’t anything at all to be afraid of!”
The woman thanks the rabbi and heads home. Later that day, she says, “Avram, come to the kitchen!” Avram rushes into the room, and the woman says, “Now, watch this. I’m going to make a piece of kreplach.”
The boy looks like he’s going to bolt but she adds, “Don’t worry, you’ll soon see that there isn’t anything to be scared of,” and he stays put. She takes a small piece of meat and puts it in the middle of a triangle of soft dough. “See, right now it’s just a bit of flour and a piece of beef. Is there anything scary so far?”
Avram says, “No, not at all. It’s just flour and meat.”
The woman takes a corner of the dough and folds it over the top of the beef. “So now it just has one little fold in it here, right? This isn’t scary.”
Avram nods. “Yeah, it does, and it isn’t scary.”
The woman takes a second corner of the dough and folds it over the top. “So now we have two corners. It’s just the same as before!”
Avram says, “You’re right! There isn’t anything scary here at all!”
The woman blesses the rabbi in her heart, before folding over the third piece of dough. “And here is a piece of kreplach!” She turns to Avram…
Only to find him running out of the kitchen, yelling at the top of his lungs, “Aaaaaaaah! Kreplaaaaaaaaach!”

About a year ago I posted a piece of old Jewish humor around Rosh Hashanah. Today is the day of for this year, so I decided to continue the tradition. I first heard this story from my grandfather (of blessed memory), who told it as though the child were a cousin of his in New York. For years his children (including my mother, and vicariously my father) believed this was a true story but I since found it in a book titled “The Joy of Yiddish” about a family in Poland. Presumably he heard it elsewhere and modernized it a bit by having it in New York instead of a shtetl. Perhaps saying it was an actual family member is part of what makes it funny? It isn’t the best joke, to be sure, but it is a very Yiddish joke and it makes me chuckle whenever I think about it, and brings back memories of my grandfather (I’m actually getting a little emotional typing this out right now – and that, I can promise, is no joke).
And to all those for whom it applies: Shanah Tovah!
Now that Laundry Folding Machine has been invented
A man calls the police and reports that his girlfriend has gone missing
The officers look confused and ask him to elaborate. “It’s really strange but whenever I leave things on this coffee table they disappear and reappear somewhere else. When I leave take away containers on it they disappear and reappear in the trash. When I leave dirty plates and mugs on it, they disappear and reappear in the cupboards washed, dried and stacked neatly and even when I leave my dirty clothes on it they disappear! and reappear cleaned and neatly folded on my bed” The female police officer looks at the man and says “Oh my god, you’re an idiot. No wonder your girlfriend has
left you.” And the male officer says “I don’t think she’s left him. I think he’s right. I’ve got the same coffee table at my house”
Woke up this morning and folded my bed back into a couch.

My folks went to a planet where there was five-fold radial symmetry
Three nuns passed away and went up to Heaven. They were pleasantly surprised when Saint Peter informed them that in exchange for their many years of servitude and chastity, God Himself was going to bestow upon them each one wish…
Saint Peter said, “Your wish is granted!”
*POOF*
She disappeared and returned to Earth to fulfill her fantasy.
The second nun agreed and said, “I’d like the same, but may I return with the face and body of Jessica Alba?”
Saint Peter said again, “Your wish is granted!”
*POOF*
Away she went!
The third nun, an Italian girl, nodded her head in agreement, “I too would like the same, but may I return with the face and body of Alice Gan Pipalini?”
With a confused look, Saint Peter replied, “I’m sorry Sister, but I do not know of her? Is she a famous starlet?”
The Sister squealed with excitement,”Oh my, yes, yes she is! She’s the most famous one of them all! Why, look at this article I’ve been saving for years!”
And with that, she reached into her pocket and pulled out an old, yellow, folded up newspaper article, which she handed to him with shaking hands.
Saint Peter slowly unfolded the paper and read the headline aloud,”Alaskan Pipeline laid by 500 men in one week.”

The Pope dies and ascends into heaven. St Peter mets him at the Pearly Gates and welcomes him into the fold.
The Pope replied “I spent my life studying the word of God, but it was always in the hand of man, and therefore subject to human error. I’d like to know if you have records of what God actually said to His prophets so that I may fully understand His will.”
“Oh, we absolutely have that for you. Follow me” replied St. Peter. And the Pope was led into a room with towering shelves filled with leather bound books and scrolls of ancient parchments. The Pope was enthralled and threw himself into this new project. He spent hours every day for the next several years reading the works and gaining key new understanding of God’s plan.
But one day St Peter hears and anguished cry ring out from the room. He ran in and found the Pope sobbing and pounding his finger over and over onto a single word.
“Celebrate! Not celibate! The word was Celebrate!”

In class, my statistics teacher said, “The lottery is a tax on fools who can’t do math.”
My statistics teacher smirked, folded his arms and asked, “Do you even know the chances of a person winning the lottery?”
I said, “Yep. 100%. A person always wins.”
A Two-Fold Accident
The man is stunned, how could this happen? He talks to the police and files a police report and they state that a different man matching the description, and wearing a bright orange hat also filed a report similar to his just 15 minutes ago. He’s furious, he demands to know who the man is. A cop tells him that it’s none other than the local judge, Judge Paul.
The man demands that Judge Paul be arrested for committing a hit-and-run against him, he says he knows he’d recognize the orange hat and the judge’s car matches the description. The cops agree and they take Judge Paul into custody.
Judge Paul is outraged, having had the worst day made worse now that he’s been arrested by the same police officers who he just filed a report with. First, his car got stolen. Second, they took his lucky orange hat. Third, his car gets returned to his driveway with the whole front-end destroyed. And what’s more, he got falsely accused of crashing his own car and fleeing the scene!
I guess it just goes to show, you should never book a judge by his cover.
