Now that we seem to have switched this ng to Tales of the Pacific Theater
(and I am probably the most guilty), I propose that we Ancient Knights try
to get back to Jewish humor.
I thank the less chronologically enhanced for standing by while we
reminisced about WW II and the moderators, as well.
So.... the police car had followed the gray sedan for several miles,
tracking it as it wove from lane to lane. Each lane change was preceded by
the correct signal and the car was moving just below the speed limit.
Finally, the police officer could stand it no longer and pulled the sedan
over. An elderly woman was at the wheel and waited for the policeman to say
something. "Why do you keep changing lanes?" he asked.
Lurkers are invited to provide a punch line, remembering that this is a
Jewish humor group.

Because back in the old country, we didn't have any lanes, or even any
roads. Feh! We didn't even have any cars because the Cossacks were always
taking them away so we never bothered to get them.

Could you at least unpack the abbreviation for the benefit of us
lurking goyim?

I was counting on most of our participants here knowing what it really
means, but I was hoping to avoid offending the sensitivities of the
moderators.

Leon, you are always the most guilty one.

I hope you next attempt will be better
than this one.

You call this humor? It's just a shaggy dog
in search of an ending. It must be a bomb.
Not even I would steal it.

Leon, are you on strike with the Writers Guild
or are you just rusty?
So who is Jewish here? The woman, the
policeman, or both?
Maybe the moderators are on strike. Why else
would that have been posted?

Alter Kocker - Yiddish equivalent of 'Old Fart' (though not a literal
translation).

Delighted that you asked. AK stands for "alte kocker" which translates
loosely into "Old Shitter" in English. |

I would hate to see this thread, which I started with good intentions,
deteriorate into something our moderators will find objectionable.
Please do not translate "shitter" loosely. Ugh! Where's the Kaopectate?

Indeed. From Kacke, 'colloquial' (vulgar) German for sh.. (actually the
whole expression is alter Kacker).
DAS
For direct replies replace nospam with schmetterling
