[GCFL-discuss] Stranded

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

greenBubble,I had no idea it was Yiddish in origin.  It fits with my Baptist background as we (not personally, but as a group) change churches as soon as _____ (fill in the blank) -- the pastor didn't visit, we got offended, our friends left, a difference in theology, etc, but mostly because we can't seem to get along with anyone else!Jeanene the Red

Stranded
A man was stranded on the proverbial deserted Pacific island for years. Finally one day a boat comes sailing into view, and the man frantically waves and draws the skipper's attention. The boat comes
 near the island and the sailor gets out and greets the stranded man.

After awhile the sailor asks, "What are those three huts you have here?"

"Well, that's my house there."

"What's that next hut?" asks the sailor.

"I built that hut to be my church."

"What about the other hut?"

"Oh, that's where I used to go to church."

This actually is an adaptation of an old Jewish joke, that got lost in translation.
The Yiddish word “broigis” means angry or bear a grudge.  Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for someone to feel he was insulted or disrespected in a certain shul (synagogue) and decide to never pray in that shul ever again.  He’s broigis
 at it.
So when the stranded man tells the sailor this is my house and this is my shul, the sailor asks him what’s the other building, he says, “Oh, that’s my broigis shul.”
