Jewish Humour

** Jewish Telegram
"Begin worrying. Details to follow."
** Serves you right!
Naomi, still unmarried, was bored one evening. So she decided to go to a London casino for the first time ever and was persuaded to play roulette. She asked someone at the table the best way to pick a number. He suggested putting her money on her age. So, she put ten chips on the number 28. When the number 38 came up, she fainted.
** Advancement
Morris Schwartz was the oldest of 7 children. Unfortunately, he had to quit school and work to help support his younger brothers and sisters. He never learned to read. So, when he married and opened a bank account, he signed his cheques just "XX".

Morris then started his own business, which soon prospered. He became a very rich man. One day, he got a call from his bank.
"Mr. Schwartz, I wanted to ask you about this cheque. We weren't sure you had really signed it. All these years, you've been signing your cheques, 'XX'; this one is signed with three X's..."
Morris replied, "Since I've become rich, my wife thought I should have a middle name"
** The Medical check 
Max Levy goes to his doctor complaining of aches and pains all over his body. After a thorough examination, the doctor gives him a clean bill of health.

“Max, you're in excellent shape for an 85 year old man. But I'm not a magician - I can't make you any younger”, says the doctor.

“Who asked you to make me younger?” says Max. “Just make sure I get older!”

Exorcist

It's indisputable the importance of the film 'Exorcist' in the moving picture history, not just in Hollywood. It gave nobility to the genre, a special category of artistic, even literary accomplishment up till then, 40 years ago in 1973, not considered seriously nor attempted by movie makers worrying about profits as priority always in the film industry.

Hollywood had the good taste to nominate it in several categories for the Oscar; it won in best script and best sound effect. This film opened the doors to modern terror films, with gothic, gore, and all kinds of epic exorcism following suit. The 'Bad Seed', was premiered in Spain in 2009. Also some others, sequences of Friedkin's films.

'Exorcist' takes the supernatural theme very seriously. Although I am not normally addicted to horror films, I do appreciate a few quite outstanding ones and Exorcist amongst them. Having stars like Ellen Burstyn and Max von Sydow leading the cast no doubt has influenced me a little, Maybe more than a little in the beginning, but the film itself holds most part of the merit. I never saw it before but I am glad I did last night.on TV.

How wonderful it is that Television sometimes compensate us with some real gems even though mostly we have to sort through amongst loads of rubbish to find them.
