It's been seven years since we first posted a joke by standup comedian Jerry Lench, a retired California advertising and public relations executive who always had a passion for standup comedy, telling jokes in English and in Yiddish.
In our endless search for new jokes to start the week each Monday, we discovered a collection of his old jokes that we haven't posted previously. Sadly, we also discovered that Jerry passed away in 2014.
Jerry's jokes were recorded by his daughter on her iPhone, and uploaded to YouTube from her computer.
We're sharing another one of his jokes today as a tribute to Jerry, to Yiddish, and to standup (and sometimes sitdown) comedy.
Enjoy!
