A Jew walked into a coffee shop with David Duke's latest newsletter under his arm. His friend took one look and said - 'Moshe, have you lost your mind?
Why are you reading anything from that bigot?

Moshe replied, 'I used to read the Jewish newspapers, but what did I find?

Jews being persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty! I got so depressed!

So I switched to these newsletters from David Duke. Now what do I find?

Jews own all the banks, Jews control the media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world.

The news is so much better!

Very funny.
Just downloaded the Charlie Hebdo App and bought the latest issue digitally with English translations.
Some their jokes are similar in vein to the above.
Kind of reminds me of Mad magazine but with mature content :-)

Speaking of Jewish newspapers, last night I saw the front page of one from 1782! All classified ads on front. Two looking for nursing mothers it seemed (I can find the text and type it in if anyone wants.) Along with ads for dry goods. To reply to some you had to contact the paper. Was interesting.

It's amazing how many old newspapers are
still around. The paper was better 200 years
ago, modern paper would be dust by now.
I had a couple dozen London papers from
1760 a few years ago. Good condition, I
sold them by the paper on Ebay and did
well. The news was either robberies and hiwaymen
(their spelling), ships docking, and lots of
classified ads. The ones that mentioned the
'colonies' sold the best.

This paper did indeed look less than 100 years old. I see 100+ year old paper in the documents I handle all the time. Sometimes a gives you a weird connection thinking about how someone typed it up, possibly in the same office as you are working in.

I have a box of documents from a town in Maine
from the 1820's. The paper is amazing, it has
an almost parchment feel to it, luxurious. It
would cost a fortune today, it was common paper
200 years ago. The ink has browned but the paper
is in excellent condition.

I think the thing to remember is there were different grades of paper. Some of what I deal with is very heavy stock, meant to be handled by the public. Other times it is near tissue-paper that was used for typing and would be filed away and hardly looked at again.

And it's different colors, blue and yellow
and rose. Lots of hand written receipts
from the towns selectman. Like paying
a merchant $12 for putting up the local
school teacher for the winter.

A Jew walks into the local church and tells the priest: "Father, I'm leaving town because everyone here is an anti-Semite."

The priest, astonished, asks "What do you mean by that?"

"I asked a representative sample of the town's population one question and they all answered the same way?"

"Whatever did you ask?"

"I asked 'What would you do if someone started persecuting Jews and encyclopedia salesmen?' "

"But why would anyone persecute encyclopedia salesmen?"

"SEE???"

God is pondering where to spend a vacation.

An angel asks "How about Earth, Oh Lord. You haven't visited in over two thousand years."

"Bite your tongue!" God replies. "The last time I was there I met a nice Jewish girl, and the locals are still making up crazy stories about it."
