And On The 6th Day.........

 
"On The Sixth Day..."

On the sixth day, G~d turned to the angel Gabriel....

"On this day, I shall create a magic land. It shall
be called 'Israel'. It will stand as holy. Its magnificence
will be known all over the world. I will choose to send
to this land special people of goodness, intelligence
and conviction, so the land shall prosper. I shall call
these inhabitants Jews."

"Pardon me, Lord," asked Gabriel, "but aren't you
being too generous to these Jews?"

"Not really. Wait until you see the neighbors I'm giving
them!"

JEW-BALEE, where there will be loads of JEW-BALATION.

JEW-BALEE'S will only be held in the months of JEWNE and JEWLY.

First born girls will be named JEWDY and JEWLIE.

Firstborn boys will be named JEWLUS or JEWORGE.

Disrespectful or law breaking JEWVINILES will not be named but instead, sent to JEWVY.

Buddhism as written in The Book Of Oy!

    Jewish Buddhism from the Book Of Oy!

  *There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote,         you never visited. And whose fault was that?

  *Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions. Keep in mind that not
   every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.
 

  *If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?

   *The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single OY!

 
*Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy. With the second,
   satisfaction. With the third, a Danish, a bagel, and a schmear

  *The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao
  does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The
   Tao is not Jewish
.
