A Nice Jewish Boy

The Rosenbergs had been somewhat concerned about some of the boys that their daughter Sarah was bringing home. They of course wanted an upstanding hardworking and all around nice young man to make their daughter happy. One night Sarah brought home a boy to meet her parents. They were appalled by his appearance: leather jacket, motorcycle boots, spiked hair and shaved in the back of his head was a Jewish star.

The Rosenbergs pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. "Dear," said Mrs. Rosenberg diplomatically, "We talked a boy who was nice and hard working. He doesn’t seem like that… "

"Oh please, Mom," Sarah replied, "If he wasn't nice and hardworking, then why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"
