Good morning all ... frosty last night ... so cold in fact I found a poor frozen bunny on my doorstep ... I hate having to dispose of dead animals ... my back garden is turning into an animal cemetery. Hope every one is well today and Kalli isn't panicking[:D] too much ... best of luck for tomorrow ... Now todays jokette concerns a certain gentleman who decides to convert to another religion .....
Exhausted and overworked, Santa Claus has decided to convert to judaism to lessen his workload and decrease his stress.
Mr. Claus' first inkling that Judaism was his new intended path, was when he was unloading one particularly heavy bag of gifts and muttered "Oy Oy Oy!" instead of "Ho Ho Ho!" Santa took this as divine inspiration and began some serious reflection on the matter.
Mr. Claus sat down at his desk in the North Pole and itemized the enefits of bringing toys to Jewish children. Most obvious was that there were much less children to service, approximately 3,000,000 Jewish children, as opposed to almost 500,000,000 Christian children.
The next obvious benefit was that he had eight days of Hanukah to deliver all of these gifts instead of jamming the entire shipment into one night, which constantly required the already weary Santa to travel at the speed of light to accomplish the task.
Finally, the straw that broke the reindeer's back was the realization that Jewish households had far more delicious cuisine to offer. Gefilte fish, chicken soup, blintzes, knishes and the like are more palatable than the milk and mince pies he got bored with after the second century.
Circumcision won't be necessary for Santa, because that's already taken care of in a freak accident involving frostbite after getting stuck in a tight chimney.
Santa has left the frigid, brutal confines of the North Pole and has begun his toy shop anew in the sunny climes of Brighton. He has fired all of those annoying elves and replaced them with nice Jewish retirees from Golders Green.
The last piece of the puzzle is legally changing his name to something more in line with his new ethnic atmosphere. Beginning Hanukkah 2009, Santa Claus will henceforth be known as the Clausenburger Rebbe.
A wonderful Wednesday to you all ....
