Revenge

*Leo Rosten, the great Jewish writer and authority on Jewish humor, listed

 as one of the characteristics of Jewish humor, revenge over the oppressor by

 the use of guile or circumstance. This is such a story:

 Moshe was sitting at the bar staring at his drink when a large,

 trouble-making biker steps up next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down

 in one swig and menacingly says, "Thanks Jew Boy, whatcha going to do about

 it?" Moshe burst into tears.

  "Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to

 see a man crying. What's your problem?"

  "This is the worst day of my life," Moshe says. "I'm a complete failure. I

 was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot,

 I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my

 wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife in bed with the postman and

 then my dog bit me." "So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put

 an end to it all. I buy a drink, drop a capsule in and sit here watching the

 poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing.

  "But enough about me, how's your day going?"
