Quoting barba_mama

lol, you don´t need bible (or torah) knowledge for this one, but business knowledge! Chapter 11 is when you file for bankruptcy in America. It´s for people that are bankrupt, but still want to try and start again and reorganize their business. It´s a good way to file for bankruptcy, and still being able to emerge with a good working company. It gets a lot of criticism since it protects the person filing for bankruptcy too much (compared to your competition in business).

 

Oh boy! Live and learn. Thanks.

I know nothing on business. {#emotions_dlg.shy}  I heard about bankrupcy thing but never paid attention. I knew a lady who had loans in bank, she then declared a bankruptcy but still lived a luxurous life. She cant apply for loans anymore.

But wondering how would this chapter 11 have connections with Bible? and How Bible would have connections with Rabbi? {#emotions_dlg.doh}

The joke is illogic. {#emotions_dlg.confused}

Im thniking the joke could be associated with Jews because Jews and money always come together.

As for the money itself the Bible says that the root of all evil is the love for money.

It´s not a joke about religion, or about Jews and money, it´s more a joke about the Chapter 11 rule... It has been joked about many times, since it is abused a lot. The Bible (I don´t know why they say "Jews" in the joke, and then say "Bible"... I guess the original joke wasn´t about Jews) has chapters. So, when the guy read the first words on the page, he read the literal first words. While the rabbi wanted to give religious guidance, it´s actually the strange business law that made the guy happy. (Although perhaps it would have said Matthew chapter 11 or something...)

 

Anyway, I thought it was funny But if you don´t know bankruptcy law it doesn´t make much sense.

Well, it says Bible in the joke anyway... It´s already a strange Rabbi who refers to the Bible. That´s why I think the original joke wasn´t about Jews. Jews don´t get bankruptcy anyway right

Mildred, 93, was despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl, so she decided to just kill herself and join him in death.

Thinking it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl´s old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor´s office to learn her heart´s exact location.

"Since you´re a woman," the doctor said, "your heart is just below your left breast. Why do you ask?" She hung up without answering.

Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound, to her knee.

lol
