  1. Off topic. A timeless joke.

    MEYER, A LONELY WIDOWER, was walking home along Delancy Street one day wishing something wonderful would happen into his life when he passed a Pet Store and heard a squawking voice shouting out in Yiddish:
    “Quawwwwk…vus macht du…yeah, du…outside, standing like a
    putzel…eh?”

    Meyer rubbed his eyes and ears. Couldn’t believe it. The proprietor sprang out of the door and grabbed Meyer by the sleeve. “Come in here, fella, and check out this parrot…” Meyer stood in front of an African Grey that cocked his little head and said: “Vus? Kenst reddin Yiddish?”

    Meyer turned excitedly to the store owner. “He speaks Yiddish?”

    “Vuh den? Chinese maybe?”

    In a matter of moments, Meyer had placed 500 dollars down on
    the counter and carried the parrot in his cage away with him.

    All night he talked with the parrot. In Yiddish. He told the parrot
    about his father’s adventures coming to America. About how beautiful his mother was when she was a young bride. About his family. About his years of working in the garment center. About Florida. The parrot listened and commented. They shared some walnuts. The parrot told him of living in the pet store, how he hated the weekends. They both wentto sleep.

    Next morning, Meyer began to put on his tfillin, all the while, saying his prayers. The parrot demanded to know what he was doing and when Meyer explained, the parrot wanted some too. Meyer went out and hand-made a miniature set of tfillin for the parrot. The parrot wanted to learn to daven and learned every prayer. He wanted to learn to read Hebrew so Meyer spent weeks and months, sitting and teaching the parrot, teaching
    him Torah.

    One morning, on Rosh Hashona, Meyer rose and got dressed and was about to leave when the parrot demanded to go with him. Meyer explained that Shul was not place for a bird but the parrot made a terrific argument and was carried to Shul on Meyer’s shoulder. Needless to say, they made quite a spectacle, and Meyer was questioned by everyone, including the Rabbi and Cantor. They refused to allow a bird into the building on the
    High Holy Days but Meyer convinced them to let him in this one time, swearing that parrot could daven.

    Wagers were made with Meyer. Thousands of dollars were bet (even odds) that the parrot could NOT daven, could not speak Yiddish or Hebrew, etc.

    All eyes were on the African Grey during services. The parrot perched on Meyer’s shoulder as one prayer and song passed – Meyer heard not a peep from the bird. He began to become annoyed, slapping at hisshoulder and mumbling under his breath, “Daven!” Nothing.

    “Daven…parrot, you can daven, so daven…come on, everybody’s looking at Daven!” Nothing.

    After Rosh Hashanah services were concluded, Meyer found that he owed his Shul buddies and the Rabbi over four thousand dollars. He marched home, pissed off, saying nothing. Finally several blocks from the temple the bird began to sing an old Yiddish song and was happy as a lark. Meyer stopped and looked at him. “You miserable bird, you cost me over four thousand dollars. Why? After I made your tfillin and taught you the morning prayers, and taught you to read Hebrew and the
    Torah. And after you begged me to bring you to Shul on Rosh Hashona, why? Why did you do this to me?”

    “Don’t be a schmuck,” the parrot replied. “Think of the odds on Yom Kippur!”

  2. Years ago a family member serviced the AccuVote Voting Machines here in my GA. County. He showed me how easy it was to program the systems to skew the votes.

    Which may explain how quick our consolidated city/county went Democrat, over taxed and focused on the Inter-City and not the whole county.

  3. …guess considering the tone of this thread and the national weather, this is as good a place for this as any.

    …a young lady had gone off the road in a snowstorm and had ended up in a ditch on a lonely country road with a dead cell phone.

    A tow truck driver came along and commiserated with her situation and her inappropriate for winter clothes, and said, “you know, you’re the third pregnant woman I’ve pulled out of a ditch tonight.

    …the lady said, “I’m not pregnant”.

    …to which the driver replied, “and you’re not out of that ditch yet, either”…
