day. Clerks waited on her hand

Her designer shoes go on sale

marked down 25%).
Lisbon wanted to buy a de-
signer dress — her own de-
sign, of course. But she
wanted it in a dolly size for her
Barbie doll.
The clerks were surprised as
they brought out frocks.
Lisbon Burberry originals do
not come in doll sizes, and
even with her discount, it’s
going to cost her chauffeur’s
arm and leg to pay for a size
conversion.
A nervous clerk standing by
a watercooler tipped it over
and splashed water over one
dress, shrinking it to the de-
sired size. Lisbon told the
clerks, “Wrap it up and put it
on my account.”

their toys.
It was Bubba and Zayda, a
real kosher pair,
They were always suspicious
of those living there.
They screamed and they
yelled and the small
pishka flew
Right into the face of the
Rabbi, who knew
Something horrid was coming
or so it would seem,
That all of this tumult was
not just a dream.
They had caught them a thief
with the Chanukah gelt.
Can you picture the way that
all of them felt?
They badgered and bullied
the poor little yid,
Til they finally realized the
yid was a kid.
And he cried he was poor, he
was hungry and cold
And he thought he would faint
(that’s the story he told).
Then the Rabbi remembered,
when he was a boy,
There was never a Chanukah
that brought him much joy.
He too had been poor when
the storm troopers came,
and he wasn’t allowed to
play dreideling games.
And instead of the sound of
the chanting of prayers,
There was only the sound of
the bombs in the air.
So he handed the child the
pennies that shone
And reminded the boy that
he wasn’t alone.
And this Chanukah gift was
the symbol of pride
With the promise to share
with somebody outside.
And they heard a great voice
from the rooftops above
“Happy Chanukah to all and
Shalom with great love!” o

Although he loved her deeply,
she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and
she knew her time was short.
She thought of her luxurious
life and wondered, “I now
have four boyfriends with me,
but when I die, will I be alone.”
Thus, she asked the fourth
boyfriend, “I loved you the
most, endowed you with the
finest clothing and showered
great care over you. Now that
I’m dying, will you follow me
and keep me company?”
“No way!” replied the
fourth boyfriend, and he
walked away without another
word. His answer cut like a
sharp knife right into her heart.
The sad girl then asked the
third boyfriend, “I loved you
all my life. Now that I’m dy-
ing, will you follow me and
keep me company?” “No!” he
said. “Life is too good! When
you die, I’m going to marry
someone else!” Her heart sank
and turned cold.
She then asked the sec-
ond boyfriend, “I have al-
ways turned to you for help
and you’ve always been
there for me. When I die,
will you follow me and keep
me company?”
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you
out this time!” he replied. “At
the very most, I can only walk
with you to your grave.” His
answer struck her like a bolt
of lightning, and the girl was
devastated.
Then a voice called out: “I’ll
go with you. I’ll follow you no
matter where you go.” The girl
looked up, and there was her
first boyfriend. He was very
skinny as he suffered from
