Bring It On! (And Laugh It Off)

The first blogger I know of to take high ground -- tactically, morally, and humorously -- during this Hamas/Hizbullah/Syrian/Iranian/Israeli war (which really is a defensive counter-attack in the longer war against jihad, but that's a serious matter for another post) -- is professional comedy writer and cartoonist Jake Novak.

I've had the pleasure of being introduced to Jake and his mercilessly wacky humor earlier this year over in the Comments sections at Seraphic Secret.  Jake is notorious for Top Ten lists that make you wish they went up to eleven, like the amplifier in Spinal Tap.  And like peanuts -- the snack or the cartoon -- you just want more.

Well, you can have more. Jake's been up to all good, making light of the heavy action that's going down around and within Israel's -- our ally's -- borders. 

You can read about it at his blog, Jake's Comedy Corner.  Recent hits include:

Beirut International Airport remains closed after Israeli jets bombed all three of its main runways. That makes sense, but why is that the reason United is giving for today's six-hour delays out of O'Hare?

and

Top 5 Text Messages Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sent Bashir Assad
5) "Is that a Kaytusha in ur pocket or are u just happy 2 C me?"
4)  . . . .

.
In the archives you'll find plenty of material on news items of the day, almost any day of the week.  So when you want a break from watching the world crack up, turn to Jake's Comedy Corner for his lastest crack-ups.

If you've got a joke or two about the war in and around Israel, JMK wants to hear it.  So do Jake (above picture, right), Jordan (above, left) and my lovely assistant, Salome (below).

"Uurff!"

JMK asks: "What's so funny about the wars Israel is fighting?"

(Note: No animals were harmed during the writing of this post.)

Sooner or later everyone's going to want to laugh, for example, Yourish.

Thanks for the invite! Let's try Palestinian jokes.

So this Palestinian walks into a bar and sits down.

The bartender says, “What’ll it be, pal?”

The Palestinian goes, “BOOM!”

Q: What did one female Palestinian suicide bomber say to the other?
A: "Does this bomb belt make my butt look big?"

In the 20th Century the world gave the Jews a lemon. And what did the Jews do? They made lemonade.

Then the Jews gave some of the lemonade to the Palestinians. And what did the Palestinians do? They made molotov cocktails.

"Hey! Did you hear they're going to make a movie about the life and death of Rachel Corrie?"
"Really...? What's it going to be called?"
"'BROKEBACK DIRTPILE'!"

Sure you all know that one: Two Palestinan fathers are sharing proudly the photos of their sons. "Yes", sighs one, "they blow up so fast..."

From Jeff, the sui generis blogmeister of Protein Wisdom:

Overheard inside a Beirut bunker, Friday, July 14

First Hezbollah militant: “You know something, brother?”

Second Hezbollah militant:

First Hezbollah militant: “I think the Zionist monkeys and pigs might be serious this time.”

Second Hezbollah militant:

First Hezbollah militant: “And while for obvious reasons I don’t know how dangerous pigs are, precisely (Allah be praised), I’m pretty sure monkeys can be downright vicious.”

Second Hezbollah militant:

First Hezbollah militant: “What with their enormous fangs. And their superhuman strength.”

Second Hezbollah militant:

First Hezbollah militant: “Not to mention the whole poo flinging thing.”

Second Hezbollah militant:

First Hezbollah militant: “...Which I guess is just a roundabout way of saying that instead of pigs and monkeys, perhaps we’d have been better off strategically in the long run had Mohammed decided to refer to Jews as, say, fluffy bunnies, or goldfish—“

Second Hezbollah militant: “-- Just be thankful I have the trots from those rotten figs, brother. Or else I’d be over there right now slapping you like an uncovered woman.”

Q: How many muslim human bombs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Nobody knows. They don't last as long as light bulbs.

Q: What do you call 800 million muslims buried up to their necks in desert sand?

A: Not enough sand.

[Jeff Bargholz]

Q: Why don't muslims like blow jobs?

A: Because camels bite.

Q: Why are Ayrabs so stupid?

A: They haven't figured it out either.

Q:Why do Ayrabs smell worse than shit?

A: Because even shit is useful.

Q: Why do Ayrabs sound like they're hawking a loogie every time they talk?

A: Because they suck camel cocks.

Q: Why don't Ayrabs climb mountains?

A: Because shit doesn't stick.

If these jokes suck, it's because I made them up myself. I'm too tired to think up any more, so consider yourself lucky.

[JMK]

Yes, very lucky.
