Odd Sayings to Groan Over, No. 1



A Calendar of Jewish Puns
·       Tomorrow I shall eat a mole.
·       After the High Holidays comes succour.
·       On the Festival of Lights the near-do-wells will triumph.
·       Lot’s wife turned around for Purim but she was assaulted.
·       Lots of matzoh on Pesach until we can eat no maror.
·       I wish all the time the New Year would go fast.
·       Non-kosher meat is bloody awful and offal.


Into the Secular Saeculorum.
·       In vertigo there is not far to go.
·       When you feel awful eat falafel.
·       In France a charwoman is a lady who drives  tanks.
·       In France they keep their aquatic felines in a chåteau.
·       In France they rent pre-hatched chickens at an église
·       Pollywogs are optimistic foreigners,
·       Scallywags are clever fish.
·       A curmudgeon is a hardworking canine.
·       One who is cantankerous can’t thank us enough.
·       One who is dogmatic is barking up the wrong tree.
·       In Germany funny elevators operate in a Witzenschaft.

·       Scaramouche was a performer whose forte was frightening flies, and sometimes he would ride away quickly on his Harlequin.
