RIDDLES

One morning, the teacher posed a riddle to the class:

“There are four birds on a tree. A naughty child throws a stone at the tree and hits one bird. How many birds are left on the tree?”

“Three birds,” - shouted Moishe’le, happy that for once he knew the answer.

“There is a certain logic in your reply,” - said the teacher, - “but the correct answer is: None! The remaining birds were frightened and flew away.”

Moishe’le was quite mad for being taken in by such a simple question and asked the teacher if he may pose a riddle too. With her pupil’s reputation, the teacher was none too happy about the idea, but being a fair person, let him continue.

“On a hot, summer day, three women each have a cone of ice cream. One of them licks the ice cream, the other sucks it and the third just eats it up. Which of the women is married?”

The teacher felt trapped, but hazarded a reply:

“It seems probable, that the one who sucks the ice cream.”

“The correct answer is: The one, with a ring on her finger,” - said Moishe’le gleefully, - “but your answer has a certain logic to it.”

EVERY AGE HAS ITS PLEASURES

During the war in Eastern Europe, there were long lines in front of every shop. Passersby always asked, what the queue was for and if they needed that particular commodity, they joined the line. In front of the county medical offices there was a line of a different kind. In those days, prostitution was legal and the ladies of the night were waiting for their monthly check-up. An elderly lady, who passed by the line, asked one of the women what they were waiting for. The hooker was ashamed to disclose their real purpose, so she said they were selling sugar inside. The old woman joined the line and waited patiently, until her turn came. When the matron with her bent back entered the clinic, one could have knocked off the astonished doctor with a feather.

“Granny, at your age!” – he exclaimed. “You don’t even have any teeth left.”

“True, but I can still suck a little.”
