Reddit reviews The Big Book of Jewish Humor

Man there are like a billion good jokes in here, but for some reason one of my favorites is this one:

Berlin, 1933. Cohen is walking down the street, minding his own business, when a huge black limousine stops next to him. The door opens, and out comes Adolf Hitler with a bodyguard. Hitler grabs the bodyguard's pistol, points it at Cohen, and says, "Worthless Jew! Down on your knees!"

Cohen doesn't have much alternative, so he gets down on his knees. Hitler notices a dog turd on the sidewalk, and he says, "Worthless Jew! Eat up that dog turd!"

Well, the gun's still pointing at him, so what's he going to do? He tries his best to obey.

Hitler thinks this is the funniest thing he's ever seen. He starts laughing uncontrollably, so much so in fact that he drops the gun. Cohen scoops it up.

Now the tables are turned! Cohen tells Hitler and the bodyguard to get down on their knees and finish eating the turd. He backs slowly away, then makes a run for it and manages to get home without further incident.

"How was your day, dear? asks his wife."

"Oh, says Cohen, about the same as usual. But hey. You'll never guess who I had lunch with."

I think I saw this in The Big Book of Jewish Humor. I'm sure it's told better there, or wherever I saw it:

---

Mendel and Yankel are on their way out of the local preist's office.

"Nu, Mendel, we finally broke down and converted to Christianity. What are we gonna do now?"

Mendel glances at the setting sun. "It's gettling late, Yankel. Maybe we oughta daven Mincha first and discuss this after."

"What are you talking about, 'daven Mincha'? Did you forget that we're Christians now?"

"Oy, my goyishe kop!"

I'd recommend the Big Book of Jewish Humor. Happy cake day!
