Acudit 1A guy walks into a bar and orders a shot of whisky. He gulps it down and peeks into his shirt pocket. He orders another shot of whisky, gulps it down and peeks into his shirt pocket. He orders a third shot and does the same thing. After the sixth shot, he asks the bartender for the bill, pays and starts to walk out. Curiosity gets the better of the bartender and he says to the guy, "Excuse me, but I noticed that every time you drank a shot, you kept looking into your pocket. I was wondering what's in your pocket." The guy slurs, "Well, I have a picture of my wife in my pocket.

They are having a good time and all agree that the bar is a nice place. Then the Scotsman says, "Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, back in Glasgow, there's a better one. At MacDougal's, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!" The others agree that sounds like a good place. Then the American says, "Yeah, that's a nice bar, but where I come from, there's a better one. Over in Brooklyn, there's this place, Vinny's. At Vinny's, you buy a drink, Vinny buys you a drink. You buy another drink, Vinny buys you another drink." Everyone agrees that sounds like a great bar. Then the Irishman says, "You think that's great? Where I come from in Dublin, there's this place called Murphy's. At Murphy's, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you to the back room and you get laid!" "Wow!" say the other two.

After a while, the priest put down his book and said to the Rabbi, "I know that in your religion you're not supposed to eat pork... but have you really never tasted it?" The rabbi closed his newspaper and replied, "I must tell you the truth. Yes I have, on the odd occasion." The rabbi then had his turn to interrogate. He asked, "I know that in your religion you're supposed to be celibate... but..." The priest interrupted, "Yes, I know what you are going to ask, and yes, I have succumbed to temptation once or twice." The two continued with their reading and there was silence for a while.

The fan offered his sympathy and said it was really too bad he couldn't find some relative to give the ticket to and enjoy the game together.

One day, the odd rabbi out, after losing three to one again, decided to appeal to a higher authority. "O, God!," he cried, "I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them!" It was a beautiful sunny day. As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four rabbis. It rumbled once and dissolved. "A sign from God! See, I'm right, I knew it!" But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds often form on hot days. So the rabbi prayed again. "O, God, I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong. So please, God, a bigger sign!" This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill. "I told you I was right!" cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes. The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a very, very big sign, but just as he said, "O, God...," the sky turned pitch-black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned, "HEEEEEE'S RIIIIIIGHT!" The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other three, and said, "Well?" "So," shrugged one of the other rabbis, "now it's three to two." bolt n. llampbooming adj. ressonant hip adj. de moda n. maluc intone v. entonar pitch n. quitrà point out v. remarcar prayer n. oració / pregària rumble v. 1 roncar 2 retrunyir / rugir / tronar rush n. pressa v. 1 fer una cosa amb precipitació 2 anar amb pressa shake v.

The bartender says "You can’t bring that dog in here!" Without missing a beat, the guy says "This is my seeing-eye dog." "Oh, I’m sorry" says the bartender, "here, the first one’s on me." The man takes his drink to a table near the door. Another man comes in with a dog and the first man stops him and says "You can’t bring your dog in here unless you tell the bartender that he’s a seeing-eye dog". The second man graciously thanks him and continues on to the bar. "You can’t bring that dog in here!" says the bartender. The second man says "This is my seeing-eye dog." The bartender says "No, I don’t think so. They don’t use Chihuahuas as seeing-eye dogs!" The man pauses for half a second and replies "What!

Even on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, he snuck out by himself for a quick nine holes. On the last hole he teed off, and a gust of wind carried his ball directly over the hole and dropped it in for a hole in one. An angel who witnessed this miracle complained to God, "This guy is playing golf on Yom Kippur, and you cause him to get a hole in one? This is punishment?" "Of course it is," said the Lord, smiling.

"I'm awfully sorry," he replied, "but all of our rooms are occupied." Just as he said that, a man came down and checked out. "What luck," said Mrs. Goldstein. "Now there's a room." "Not so fast, Madam. I'm sorry, but this hotel is restricted. No Jews allowed." "Jewish? Who's Jewish? I happen to be Catholic." "I find that hard to believe. Let me ask you, who was the Son of God?"
