Umm…but he’s not shaving?

Sorry, but to me, these days, Jews are just not funny.

In other words, “a cute little shaver.”

Doesn’t look like he’s shaving to me…

A woman is sitting on a bus and a man comes on and sits opposite her. She hisses at him “Jews like you!” He says “I beg your pardon?” She says “Wearing your black coat and hat and beard and curls ~ you just want to make the rest of us Jews look bad!” The man looks puzzled. “Madam, I am not Jewish. I am Amish.” She sits back and smiles and says “how nice. You’ve kept your traditions.”

That’s Jewish humour.

I wish I had a rabbi so I could ask him if this cartoon was anti-semitic.

That’s the ‘historical present’ as used by newspapers.
