0 kay, so you're not supposed to laugh or even think of humor on Yom
Kippur. Don't get excited, we understand. Just skip over "For
Openers," and pick it up late Saturday night.
Of course, you know sometime around 4 p.m. Saturday after-
noon, when that caffeine headache is kicking in, maybe the "evil" inclination
will be to sit down with something funny. But, don't let us influence you nega-
tively.
Or, when you come home for that "nap," "For Openers" will be here.
Anyway, read on ...

MARTY WEISS
Special to The Jewish News

An elderly Jew saw an ad in a maga-
zine that said, "Lumberjacks needed in
the Canadian North Woods."
He flew up and reported for a job.
The 6-foot-3 foreman looked down at
the 5-foot-2 Jew and explained that
they cut trees with axes and it takes
brawn, which obviously he didn't
have.
The Jew said, "Just give me a test."
So they hand him an ax and directed
him to go chop down a tree. The Jew,
with four strokes — zip, zap, zoop,
shlip — cut down the tree.
The foreman complimented him,
but explained that he was being kind,
because that wasn't the type of tree
they really cut down, it was the type
they plant. Then he said, pointing to a
monster tree, "Those are the kind we
cut down."
The Jew went over to the big tree
and with 10 strokes — zip, zap,
shlipp, flop, barn, boom, crack,
crunch, bim — he cut down the tree.
With that the foreman said, "You're
hired, but where did you get the expe-
rience?"
The Jew said, "In the Sahara
Forest."
The foreman said, "You mean the
Sahara Desert, don't you?"
And the Jew said, "Sure, now!"

Quick Thoughts

•.wwwwirungsgallibb.

• The opitimist sees the bagel, the
pessimist sees the hole.
• If you can't say something nice,
say it in Yiddish.
• If it tastes good, it's probably not
kosher.
• Twenty percent off is a bargain;
50 percent off is a mitzvah.
• Remember, even Sandy Koufax
didn't play ball on Yom Kippur.
