A Joke to Start the Week - "Indian Bar Mitzvah"


We thought we had exhausted the supply of clean jokes from Old Jews Telling Jokes. But we found that a similar project existed in the United Kingdom.

So this Monday our joke to start the week comes from the UK. The joke teller is Andrew, a 62-year-old food importer.

  1. there is a much older version(1966?) of this one that you can hear on a disc with the title, "WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE THE WHOLE WORLD IS JEWISH," the sequel to the classic "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE JEWISH." The older version is longer, much longer, but funnier (although some people prefer shorter jokes.) Both LPs are available in the USA on a single CD. Sadly, the yiddish accents have almost disappeared in New York's and in other cities' "Yinglish", so this CD is your chance to hear those accents so dear to me. I won't tell the longer version of "The Bar-Mitzva Safari" here, as I don't want to ruin it for anyone, and..ah, this "Bar Mitzva Safari" takes place in Africa, not in India, but who cares!.
