The Mikva

A Christian girl in love with a Jewish guy agrees to change her religion. She goes to a Rabbi for instruction.

Rabbi: "You will learn how to light the candles, keep two sets of dishes, keep a kosher home, and a few other simple things."

Girl: "That sounds easy to me. I can do that."

Rabbi: "The last thing is, you must go to a mikva."

Girl: "Mikva, what's that?"

Rabbi: "It's a pool of water and you must immerse yourself completely for a few seconds."

Girl: "I'm sorry, I have a phobia about putting my head underwater. I'll go in the pool but I can't put my head under water. Will that be all right?"

Rabbi: "That will be okay. You will be mostly Jewish but you will still have a 'Goyisha kup'!!!"

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!
