Overboard
Isaac and Hymie were two tired Brooklyn businessmen who were ordered to take a Caribbean cruise by their doctors. The second night out on the way to Martinique they were leaning against the rail, looking at the big bright tropical moon on the sea, really starting to unwind.
Suddenly the rail broke and both Jews fell screaming into the ocean. They came up gasping and spluttering and saw the ship sailing away from them into the darkness. As Isaac had fallen overboard he had managed to grab a life preserver, and now he clung to it, desperately treading water. ‘Hyman!‘ he called out, ‘Hyman, can you float alone?‘
‘Oy vay!‘ called out Hymie from the dark waters. ‘Vat a time to talk business

Jewish Dream
Moshe was taking to his psychiatrist. ‘I had a weird dream recently,‘ he says. ‘I saw my mother but then I noticed she had your face. I found this so worrying that I immediately awoke and couldn‘t get back to sleep. I just stayed there thinking about it until 7am. I got up, made myself a slice of toast and some coffee and came straight here. Can you please help me explain the meaning of my dream?‘
The psychiatrist kept silent for some time, then said, ‘One slice of toast and coffee? Do you call that a breakfast?‘

A Serious Chat with Mom
Rivkah sprang to answer the telephone.
‘Darling, How are you? This is Mommy.‘
‘Oh Mommy,‘ Rivkah said crying, ‘I‘m having a bad day. The baby won‘t eat and the washing machine won‘t work. I‘ve sprained my ankle and I‘m hobbling around. On top of all this, the house is a mess and I‘m supposed to have the Minkys and the Rokens for dinner tonight. I haven‘t even had a chance to go shopping.‘
The voice on the other end said in sympathy, ‘Darling, let Mommy handle it. Sit down, relax and close your eyes. I‘ll be over in half an hour. I‘ll do your shopping, tidy up the house and cook your dinner. I‘ll feed the baby and I‘ll call an engineer I know who‘ll fix your washing machine. Now stop crying. I‘ll even call your husband David at the office and tell him he should come home to help out for once.‘
‘David?‘ said Rivkah. ‘Who‘s David?‘
‘Why, David ‘s your husband….Is this 555-3749?‘
‘No, this is 555-3747.‘
‘Oh, I‘m sorry. I guess I dialled the wrong number.‘
There was a short pause, then Rivkah said, ‘Does this mean you‘re not coming over?‘
