Category: Ethnic Stories WHO IS MINDING THE STORE?

The family was all assembled around the bedside of a dying old Jew. With his eyes closed, his voice feeble, the patriarch asked:

“Is Sara here?”

“Yes, my dear,” - answered his faithful wife. “I am here by your side.”

“And is Abraham here?”

“Yes, Papa,”

“Are Reuven, Tamar and Rivka and little Moses nearby?”

“Yes, Papa, we are,” - replied the children in unison.

Abruptly the old man sat up and with his stern eyes wide open, looked at his loved ones:

“If everybody is here,” - he shouted - “then who the hell is minding the store?”

Category: Old Age Humiliations A MATTER OF PATIENCE On his 100th birthday a reporter asked the patriarch, how he had managed to reach such a ripe old age. The old gent just shrugged: “Very simply. I had one glass of brandy every day.” “But there are many others who drink and don’t live to become 100 years old,” - wondered the reporter. “Of course not,” – answered the venerable guy, – “they don’t keep it up long enough.” Add to Technorati Favorites GoLedy.com
