Jokes

The provider-in-law

Mr. Petrzebie goes to meet his new son-in-law to be, Yitzie.

“So, tell me Yitzie, what do you do?”

“I study the Torah,” Yitzie replies.

“But Yitzie, you are going to marry my daughter. How are you going to feed and house her?”

“What, me worry?” says Yitzie. “I study Torah and it says God will provide.”

“But you will have children, how will you educate them?” asks Mr. Petrzebie.

“No problem,” says Yitzie, “I study Torah and God will provide.”

When Mr. Petrzebie returns home his wife anxiously asks him what Yitzie is like.

“Well,” he says, “he’s a lovely boy. I only just met him and he already thinks I’m God.”
