Quick thinking

One day, Jacob, a Russian Jew, slipped on the wet riverbank and fell into the water. Unfortunately, Jacob could not swim and was in serious danger of drowning.

Two czarist policemen heard cries for help and rushed over. But when they saw that it was a Jew, they laughed and stood there watching him drown.

"Help, I can't swim," shouted Jacob.

"Then you will just have to drown," they replied.

With his last breath, Jacob shouted: "Down with the czar!"

The policemen immediately rushed into the river, pulled Jacob out, and arrested him for troublemaking.

What a name!

One Sunday, little Rachel and her bubbe go to the mall to buy a present for Rachel. Unfortunately, while shopping, Rachel gets separated from her bubbe and immediately starts to cry. A security guard sees the sobbing little girl and takes her to the lost-and-found office. When they ask Rachel for her name, she replies, "Shana Punim Kin Ahora Poo Poo Poo."

So they again ask her for her name and she replies, "My name is Shana Punim Kin Ahora Poo Poo Poo."

So the office puts out the following message over the public address system: "We have in our lost-and-found office a cute brown-eyed, blonde-haired little girl who has lost her grandmother. If you are that grandmother, please come and claim your granddaughter, Shana Punim Kin Ahora Poo Poo Poo."

Five bubbes immediately come running to claim her.
