“If a gentile has a boat he’s out on excursions. There’s no bigger shnook in the world than a Jew with a boat. All he wants to do is show it off to you. I know 5,00 Jews with boats; I never saw one move yet.
“Mine sleeps 7,” one will say. “Mine sleeps 12,” says another. A Jew doesn’t want a boat; he wants a dormitory.” -Jackie Mason
People would hear this and roar. It was riotously funny. We had tried to become accepted in society, provide a good foundation for our families and were pretty ignorant about how others lived.
Question: Is this still funny or even true? If not, where are we now?
