content of his own page. They are not his creation; they are from
the Internet flow. "Authors" are not deliberately omitted; almost
always they are simply unknown. Contributors are not identified to
protect the innocent and preserve their privacy; they will, of course,
be credited if they tell me they would like to be. Enjoy. Search

Gifts for Mama Three sons of a Yiddishe Mama left their homeland, went abroad
and prospered. They discussed the gifts they were able to give
their old mother.
AVRAHAM, the first, said: "I built a big house for our
mother."
MOISHE, the second, said: "I sent her a Mercedes with
a driver."
DAVID, the youngest, said: "You remember how our mother
enjoys reading the bible. Now she can't see very well. I sent
her a very expensive and remarkable parrot that recites the whole Bible.
Mama just has to name the chapter and verse."
Soon thereafter, a letter of thanks came from their mother.
AVRAHAM, she said, the house you built is so huge. I
live only in one room, but I have to clean the whole house.
MOISHE, she said, I am too old to travel. I stay most
of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. And that driver
has shpilkas -- he's a pain in the tuchas.
