Committment

A chicken and a pig are strolling along the street. They see a deli with a sign - "Scrambled Eggs and Ham." The cow says to the pig: "Let's go in and have a bite." Pig replies:  "No, no.  From you they just require a contribution, from me they require a total commitment." ...and sometimes that is precisely what is required.  Half measures do not always work.

Swine

Several Jews and gentiles were traveling in a train.  One of the gentiles who sat directly opposite a Jew started to insult him and called him names. Suddenly the Jew opened his mouth wide and yawned. ”Shut your mouth!” Shouted the other. “What do you want to do swallow me?” ”God forbid,” replied the Jew. "You know that we Jews are forbidden to eat swine.” There is a kernel of deep truth here: We are  forbidden  to eat what we must not become.

Clever

Two acquaintances were sitting in a restaurant.  The first ate fish while the other consumed a portion of ham.  The s ame one then asked for a drink of liquor and so he called, "The fish wants to swim." The waiter understood immediately and brought him a drink. The other man, thinking how clever that interchange was, called out, "The pig wants to drink." Did this ever happen to you when you wanted to be clever but instead "stepped in it?"  Moral: Don't be clever.  Just be you.
