Return of "Old Jews Tell Jokes".

[Chris Newman]

Not long before Christmas BBC4 ran a very funny American comedy show "Old Jews Tell Jokes". Irrascible old age, unashamed filth, dry wit. It made me cry nightly:

Recorded both these when they were re-run at Christmas, haven't had time to watch save for the first joke in the first prog: made us laugh!

My favourite (not sure if this features in the prog):

An old woman goes into her local NY bakery.
"How much are your bagels?"
"Two for fifteen cents"
"How much for one?"
"Eight cents"
"I'll take the other one"

Apologies if you know this, and told better than here.

Mr Goldberg dies. Mrs Goldberg wants to put a notice in the local newspaper to let everyone know. She tells the paper to simply put "Goldberg Dead". The paper says "For the same price you could have three extra words". Mrs G thinks a moment then says "OK put 'Goldberg Dead - Volvo for sale' ".

Good one from rubbers too...

The one about Herschel and his walnuts on the TV show is a doozie though!

I've always loved the classic Jewish telegram:

START WORRYING. DETAILS TO FOLLOW.
