Question: Why do Jews get out of jail?
Answer: They eat lox!
Well I truly love this joke. But an additional reason for telling it is I learned it from my mother. She was not exactly a big joke teller, but jokes fit into her larger persona as warm, smiling, a bringer of happiness.
As a school teacher she always had stories about school....mostly about her fellow teachers and administrators. One appalling story was about a teachers room conversation in which a teacher indicated that people from Latin America spoke Latin. Logical yes. Ignorant, amazing. Do we forgive this because it was the 1950's?
