Vus titzuch
President Bush calls in the Head of the CIA and asks, How come the Jews know everything before we do?"
The CIA chief says, "The Jews have this expression :'Vus titzuch?'
The President says, "Hell, what's that mean?"
Well,
Mr. President", replies the CIA chief, "It's a Yiddish expression which
roughly translates to "what's happening". They just ask each other and
they know everything."
The
President decides to personally go undercover to determine if this is
true. He gets dressed up as an Orthodox Jew (black hat, beard, long
black coat) and is secretly flown in an unmarked plane to New York, picked up in an unmarked car, and dropped off in Brooklyn's most Jewish neighborhood.
Soon a little old man comes shuffling along. The President stops him and whispers, "Vus titzuch?"
The old guy whispers back: "Bush is in Brooklyn."
That was funny! But having parents who spoke Yiddish around the house
when I was a kid, I know that ANYTHING spoken in Yiddish is always going
to be funnier!
