I have always enjoyed a good joke. Over a period of many years, I
have been accumulating my favorites in a sort of informal way. I
finally decided to compile a list of what I consider the best jokes
in the collection. The result of this is what you now hold in your
hand: "The five hundred funniest jokes I have ever heard or read."
There are jokes of all kinds herein. I have included one-liners,
quips, top-tens, detailed humorous stories, ethnic jokes and of
course jokes covering marriage and the battle of the sexes. Being
an avid golfer, I have included a section devoted to golf as well.
Each chapter begins with an illustration depicting one of the jokes
in that chapter. It is my sincere hope that contents of this book
will bring you as much laughter and enjoyment as they have brought
me in compiling them.

"Rich like a Rothschild" asks Jews what they would do if they were
as rich as Baron Rothschild, the legendary financier whose
daughters took piano lessons from Frederic Chopin. I first read the
Polish version of this book in Warsaw. It was the first collection
of Jewish humor printed in democratic Poland since the collapse of
Communism in 1989. Jews were persecuted in Europe for centuries.
Many fled to Poland, where they found freedom of worship. By 1850,
more than three quarters of all Jews in the world lived inside the
borders of old Poland (before it had been partitioned between
Russia, Prussia and Austria). In some communities the dominant
language was Yiddish. While preserving their own traditions, Polish
Jews enriched the cultures of the world with great scholars,
writers, and musicians such as Artur Rubinstein and Wanda
Landowska. Many Polish Jews settled in the United States of
America. Hitler's Nazi Germany destroyed Poland's Jewish culture
almost completely, and now only a few fragments remain. Yet, we are
witnessing a revival of interest in that culture. A major Museum is
being created, groups are forming for joint studies, Jewish schools
are opening, and traditional Jewish restaurants are popular.
Christian Poles and visitors from abroad are learning Hebrew,
playing klezmer music, and studying Jewish culture. Jewish humor is
a bridge to the past. These jokes, dating to 19th century Tsarist
Russia, may be the only Polish collection so far to be translated
into English. Jewish humor was always popular in Poland and
throughout the world, because it's sharp wit is softened by warmth
and wisdom. It makes us laugh while it reminds us that life has
dangers which call for faith and spirit to survive another day. It
makes fun of religion and free-thinking, oppression and survival,
poverty and riches, war and marriage, and it does so without anger
or malice. The world needs more of that. Jewish humor reflects the
soul of Jewish people with their long history, religion and
traditions. It varies with the societies in which they lived. And
that is why the humor of Jews in Poland is special. This book
evokes a society of people killed only because they were who they
were, Polish Jews. They were murdered in Nazi death camps, and
their ashes were dumped into unnamed pits. Yet, we deny the
Holocaust a total victory over these victims when we remember them.
Their humor is the perfect monument to their memory. It confirms
their decision to remain Jews even when they were exiled from their
country. It shows their loyalty to their laws and religion, their
intelligence, their skills in business, their education, frugality
and generosity. We see that they lived worthy lives, full of hope,
even in times of injustice and oppression.
