A little ‘humor’…

Posted on by March 6, 2013

Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when he decided that he really needed a new robe.

After looking around for a while, he saw a sign for Finkelstein, the Tailor..

So, he went in and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein prepare a new robe for him. A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on — and it was a perfect fit!

He asked how much he owed.

Finkelstein brushed him off: “No, no, no, for the Son of God there’s no charge!

However, may I ask for a small favor. Whenever you give a sermon, perhaps you could just mention that your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein, the Tailor?”

Jesus readily agreed and as promised, extolled the virtues of his Finkelstein robe whenever he spoke to the masses.

A few months later, while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem , he happened to walk past Finkelstein’s shop and noted a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein’s robes.

He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him and as soon as Finkelstein spotted him he said: “Jesus, Jesus, look what you’ve done for my business!

Would you consider a partnership?”

“Certainly,” replied Jesus

“Jesus & Finkelstein it is.”

“Oh, no, no,” said Finkelstein.

“Finkelstein & Jesus.

After all, I am the craftsman.”

The two of them debated this for some time.

Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful — and they finally came up with a mutually acceptable compromise.. A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein’s shop:

I know, I know… but it is STILL funny… 🙂

  8. Oh, Christ. . . I reloaded this page through a wonky connection three times for that?!?

    Mommy, make the bad man stop. . .

    That hurt.

    I hope your next ammo order gets mixed up and you get a case of .25ACP frangible from a company named “Dead as Shit Ammo” whose box logo is some Jersey Shore Barbie in a camo tank top with her finger on the trigger or some such.

    {chuckle, wink}

    Yes, I’m forwarding it to several friends. . . I need to share the pain, I mean, wealth.

    The Goldberg Brothers – The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner

    Here’s a little factoid for automotive buffs or just to dazzle your friends.

    The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and
    developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature inDetroit was 97 degrees.

    The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford’s office and sweet-talked
    his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most
    exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.

    Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.

    They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.

    The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.

    The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, ‘The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,’ on the dashboardof each car in which it was installed.

    Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Semitic, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg’s name on two million Fords.

    They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown.

    And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show – Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max — on the controls.

    I can hear your groans from here. Happy Friday!!
