17th Feb 2012 Another Las Vegas That Never Was

Feb 17A
The 'EuroVegas' I was talking about yesterday, proposed to be raised upon Spanish ground, in Barcelona or Madrid, is not exactly a brand new idea. In fact, it had been turning over earnestly in eager business minds for nearly 2 years since the plan was first made public, to be constructed in Los Monegros of Aragon. That project sort of died an immature death; collective caution of failure of the investors had caused the failure.

I think differently. That old idea could have waken up the curiosity of many people, at that time 2 years back; could well produce enough touristic movement to be profitable. Because of the geographic difference. Remote, quiet and forsaken plains to suddenly become a vast entertainment city that never sleeps, like the real 'Las Vegas'.

After all, many Europeans go to far off Punta Cana to swim, even though they have magnificent beaches near home. Modern day tourists are enthusiastic for novelties. It's different from the 'EuroVegas' project planned for Barcelona or Madrid, both are already ultra modern bustling cities.

Alan King ... Mel Brooks ... Phil Silvers ... Jack Carte ... Rodney Dangerfield ... Don Rickles, ... Jack Benny ... Mansel Rubenstein ...

Can some of you name more others? And there was not one single swear word in their comedy. Not like many of today's jokes, with dirt as punchlines. Here are a few examples:


** I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
** I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years! If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!
** What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she's making love? "Honey, I'm home!"
** Someone stole all my credit cards but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends
less than my wife did.
** My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night; only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.
** My wife and I went to a hotel where we got a waterbed. She called it the Dead Sea .
** She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate.
** She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
** The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill so the doctor gave him another six months.
** The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"

The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."
** Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.

A: They never let anyone finish a sentence!
** A man called his mother in Florida: "Mom, how are you?"
"Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak."
The son said, "Why are you so weak?" She said, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."
The son said, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?"
The mother answered, "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food in case you called."
** A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play. She asks, "What part is it?"
The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband."
The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."
** Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: (Sigh) "Don't bother. I'll sit in the dark. I don't want to be a nuisance to anybody."
** Short summary of every Jewish holiday: They tried to kill us. We won. Let's eat.
** Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, "Lady, I haven't eaten in three days."
"Force yourself," she replied.
** Q: What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?
A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.
