 The Israeli Delegate began, "Ladies and gentlemen before I commence with my speech, I wanted to relay an old story to all of you... When Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt he had to go through deserts, and prairies, and even more deserts... The people became thirsty and needed water. So Moses struck the side of a mountain with his cane and at the sight of that mountain a pond appeared with crystal clean, cool water. And the people rejoiced and drank to their hearts' content.
 Moses wished to cleanse his whole body, so he went over to the other side of the pond, took all of his clothes off and dove into the cool waters of the pond.  Only when Moses came out of the water he discovered that all hisclothes have been stolen... And I have reasons to believe that the Palestinians stole his clothes."  Yassir Arafat, hearing this accusation, jumps out of his seat and screams, "This is a travesty. It is widely known that there were no Palestinians there at the time!!!"

 "And with that in mind", said the Israeli Delegate, "let me begin my speech..."

One begins to leave, he tries to push himself out of the chair, he slips, he grunts, he groans, he strains, and finally pushes himself out of the rocker, and begins to shuffle along.
His friend says, "Beryl, vu leyfst du?"

 The cursor moves from right to left. It comes with two hard drives, one for fleyshedik business software and one for milchedik games.  Instead of getting a "General Protection Fault" error, my PC now gets "Ferklempt."-The Chanukah screen savers include"Flying Dreidels".
 The PC also shuts down automatically at sundown on Friday evenings.  After my computer dies, I have to dispose of it within 24 hours.  The "Start" button has been replaced with a "Let's go! I'm not getting any younger!" button.  When disconnecting external devices from the back of my PC, I am instructed to "Remove the cable from the PC's tuchus".  The multimedia player has been renamed to "Nu, so play my music already!"  Internet Explorer has a spinning "Star of David" in the upper right corner.  I hear "Hava Nagila" during startup.  Microsoft Office now includes "A little byte of this, and a little byte of that."  When running "scandisk," , It prompts with a "You want I should fix this?" message.  When my PC is working too hard, I occasionally hear a loud "Oy Gevalt!"  There is a "monitor cleaning solution" from Manischewitz that advertises that it gets rid of the "schmutz und drek" on your monitor.  After 20 minutes of no activity, my PC goes "Schloffen."  Computer viruses can now be cured with some matzo ball chicken soup.  The Y2K problem has been replaced by "Year 5760-5761" issues.  If you decide not to shut down the computer in the prescribed  manner, the following message appears "You should be ashamed of yourself!"

 When Spellcheck finds and error it prompts: "Is this the best you can do?"

  Ariel Sharon - "The important thing is to shovel the entire width and breadth of the driveway, regardless of
  what anyone else thinks."  Ehud Barak - "You must shovel most of the driveway, but the exact dimensions of shoveling will be determined in discussions with our neighbors. No wait, you can shovel only in places where snow had previously fallen, but you cannot shovel in places where no snow had fallen - wait, don't do any shoveling until you hear from me!"
  Yossi Sarid - "You should not shovel any part of the driveway, since you really do not have any valid historical or legal claim to the driveway, and it will soon be given back to its rightful owners."   Artscroll Hilchos Sheleg ("Laws Regarding Snow; Ashkenaz version, chapter 5) - "First approach the snow with the proper kavanah, meditating on the concept of snow removal. Recite the "...Who commanded us concerning the shoveling of snow" benediction," then take three steps back, bend the knees slightly with feet together, then look at the snow, lift shovel and dig, turning right and then left, bend knees fully, take three steps forward and deposit snow deliberately. Repeat until done, then recite the Sheheheyanu benediction, go indoors and have a hot drink, remembering to say the Shehakol brocha (see Hilchos on Drinking Hot Liquids)..."   Tikkun Magazine - "What right do we have to violently take snow from its rightful resting place? Snow has rights: each snowflake is a unique individual, and we have absolutely no right to do anything with it. Let the snow
decide for itself what it wishes to do, and then if it wishes to be shoveled, do so humanely."   Rashi - "Snow, this is a form of solid precipitation that clings to one's beard if you remain outside too long in   the winter season. (Old French: neige). Shoveling is a Rabbinic precept, based on the verse in Isaiah 1:18 - "If your sins be like scarlet, they will turn as white as snows"   Birthright Israel - "It does not matter how the shoveling is done, but the very act of Jewish teenagers shoveling snow for ten consecutive days, under proper supervision, will have a lifelong impact on Jewish identity."   Meir Ben-Meir (Israeli Water Commissioner) - "Just shovel the snow as fast as you can, and ship it here. We are running out of water fast! Is anyone listening to me?"   Rabbi David Hartman - "Snow is a potent force in the world which unites all Jews. It falls on us all,regardless of religious denomination and belief, and is therefore instrumental in our understanding of Jewish unity and   diversity. In fact, just this week, I was explaining the significance of snow to the Prime Minister, President
  Weizman, President Clinton, and His Holiness the Pope, who had asked my opinion."   The Late Lubavitcher Rebbe (from an epistle to a disciple) - "Shoveling snow is a distraction from our   efforts to bring Moshiach, may He come soon, when in any case there will be no snow to shovel. So leave it and let it melt. If the Messiah does not come by Shavuos, the snow will have miraculously disappeared anyway."   Now, if I could just find my boots.

"What?" says the mama.
"Today, at high noon, I was proposed to in marriage."
"Yes?" says the mama, "so what did you say?"
"I said Yes.""You said Yes?"
"I said Yes."
"That's wonderful," says the mama. "She said Yes! Did you hear that Geronowitz?
Our little Minihorowitz is getting married!"
"I heard," says the papa, "I'm kvelling. So who's the lucky boy?"
"Sittin' Bialy." "Sittin' Bialy?" says the mama, "of the SoSiouxMe tribe?"
"That's the one," says Minihorowitz. "Oy, Geronowitz! The SoSiouxMe's! There are so many of them! How can we feed them? How can we get them all in our teepee for the wedding?" "We'll think of something," says Geronowitz.
"Geronowitz! Get me a buffalo!"
"What, at this hour?"
"No, Geronowitz, for the wedding! I can make buffalo tzimmes from the meat, and we can make an extra teepee from the hide. Get me a buffalo!" So Geronowitz goes out to hunt a buffalo. A day goes by, and a night and Geronowitz has not come back. Another day and another night, and still no sign of him. Another day and half the night, and Geronowitz comes home. Exhausted.  Staggering. And empty-handed. "Geronowitz! I've been worried sick. Where have you been? And where's my buffalo?!" "It's like this," he says. "On my first day out, I hunted high, and I hunted low, and I finally found a buffalo. But this
buffalo, he made Mickey Rooney look strong. It was a tiny, scrawny little buffalo, with no meat on his bones for buffalo tzimmes, and barely enough hide for a rain hat. So I settled in for the night to try again the next day. "The second day, I looked high, and I looked low, from this way and that way, and I finally found a buffalo. He was a big buffalo, with lots of meat, and lots of hide, but I tell you, Pocayenta, this was the ugliest buffalo I ever saw in my life. 'This, 'I thought to myself, 'is not the buffalo for MY daughter's wedding.' So again, I settled in for the night to try again the next day. "The third day, I got up early, and I looked high and I looked low, from this way and that way, going up hills and down hills, and I found a buffalo. It was a big buffalo. It was, as buffalos go, a beautiful buffalo. It was, if I say so myself, the perfect buffalo. 'This,' I says to myself, 'is the buffalo Pocayenta wants for Minihorowitz's wedding.' "So I reach into my backpack quietly for my tomahawk, as I tip-toe over to the buffalo. Raise my tomahawk slowly over the buffalo's neck, when suddenly, like a bolt of lightning from the sky, I see it."

"See what?" says Pocayenta.
"I've brought the dairy tomahawk!"
