Hanukkah Humor

[posted by Callimachus]

According to a Boston Globe story:

If you can only tell only one joke at a Hanukkah party this year, Moshe Waldoks and William Novak [authors of "The Big Book of Jewish Humor"] recommend this one. "It only offends four or five minority groups," Waldoks says.

Four men are walking in the desert.

The German says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have a beer."

The Italian says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have wine."

The Mexican says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have tequila."

The Jew says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes."
