"JOKE
OF THE MONTH" The
rules are simple to win: No "xxx" jokes, sorry. Kit Menkin cannot win
(relatives, friends and employees can enter and win). Please note, if in the decision
of the judges there is no "best" joke, a previous month may be included,
and like in horseshoes, there are no ties. Winners of previous months can also
win a second or third time - There is no limit. Please
send me your favorite joke. The first one to send it, not only gets the credit,
but a good bottle of wine or a box of chocolates (the winners choice).

"Warshawsky's
Bar"
An
Irishman, an Italian, and a Polish guy are in a bar. They are having a
good time and all agree that the bar is a nice place. Then the Irishman
says, "Aye, this is a great bar, but where I come from, back in Dublin,
there's a BETTER one. At McDougall's, you buy a drink, you buy another
drink, and McDougall himself will buy your third drink!"
The
others agree that sounds like a great place.Then the Italian says, "Yeah,
that's a great bar, but where I come from, there's a BETTER one. Over
in Brooklyn, there's this place, Vinnie's. At Vinnie's, you buy a drink,
Vinnie buys you a drink. You buy anudda drink, Vinnie buys you anudda
drink."
Everyone
agrees that sounds like a great bar.Then the Polish guy says, "YOU THINK
THAT'S GREAT???? Where I come from, there's this place called Warshawsky's.
At Warshawsky's, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second
drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back
and get you laid!" "Wow!" say the other two. "That's fantastic! Did that
actually happen to you?" "No", replies the Polish guy, "but it happened
to my sister.
