Good Wife, Who Can Find?
Sam is enjoying his 80th birthday party with family and friends. Even Rabbi Landau is present. Sam is so happy that he decides now is the time to let out his secret and to everybody’s surprise, announces his forthcoming marriage to 50-year-old Hetty.
Everyone comes up to wish them mazel tov. Later, Rabbi Landau takes Sam aside and says, “Don’t be offended, but I must ask you a few questions. Do you really love Hetty?”
“To tell you the truth, Rabbi, I’m not sure,” Sam replies.
“Well, is she a good cook? Is her chicken soup special?” asks Rabbi Landau.
“I’m not sure, I’ve never seen her in the kitchen, Rabbi,” Sam replies.
“Is Hetty rich?” he asks.
“I’m not sure about her finances, we’ve never discussed money,” replies Sam.
“But if you don’t know whether you love her, if you’re not sure whether she’s a good cook, or if you don’t know whether she’s rich, why on earth do you want to marry her?” asks Rabbi Landau.
“She can drive at night,” replies Sam.
Car Trouble
Solly Hess was a go getter. He wanted to be the first of his friends to have a car and he wanted to buy it with his own money. Sure enough, just after he turned 16 he had saved up enough money to buy a car. But unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to put away a lot of money so the car was, well, not in the best of health.
One morning, Solly’s mother was surprised to see his car parked in front of the house even though he was at school. When Solly returned home she asked him about it.
"I had to get to school early," Solly said, "so I just ran."
