Bill Gates advertised for a new chairman of Microsoft Europe.
5,000 candidates assembled in a large hall.
One of them was Maurice Cohen, a little Jewish man who was born in Tunisia.
Bill Gates thanked the candidates for coming, but asked all those who were not familiar with the JAVA program language to leave.
2,000 rose and left the room. Maurice Cohen said to himself: 'I do not know this language but what have I got to lose if I stay? I'll give it a try!"
Bill Gates then asked all those who have no experience in managing teams of more than 100 people to leave.
Another 2000 people left. Maurice Cohen said to himself: 'I have never managed anybody, but myself but what have I got to lose if I stay? What can happen to me?'
Then, Bill Gates asked all candidates who don't have outstanding academic qualifications to leave. 500 more people removed themselves. Maurice Cohen says to himself, 'I left school at 15, but what have I got to lose if I stay? So he stayed in the room.
Finally, Bill Gates asked all of the candidates who do not speak
the Serbo-Croatian language to rise and leave.
498 people got up and left the room. Maurice Cohen says himself, 'I do not speak Serbo-Croatian, but what the hell!? Have I got anything to lose?
Maurice, himself alone with 1 other candidate; everyone else had gone.
Bill Gates joined them and said, 'Apparently, you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo-Croatian. I'd like to hear you converse with one another in Serbo-Croatian.'
Calmly, Maurice turned to the other candidate and says to him: "Baruch Ata Adonai."
The other candidate answered: "Eloheinu Melech Ha'olam."

Berl y Shmerl van caminando por la calle en Moscú en la época pre-perestroika.
De repente, ven una policía mirándolos atentamente.
'Estoy en problemas,' dice Berl. 'No tengo mis documentos en orden y si la Policía me los pide, me llevará preso!'
'No te preocupes,' lo calma Shmerl. 'Yo tengo mis documentos en orden. Yo voy a empezar a correr y me va a perseguir pensando que tengo algún problema. Mientras tanto tu te escapas...'
Dicho y hecho. Shmerl empieza a correr y, efectivamente, la policía lo empieza a perseguir.
Finalmente lo alcanza. 'Mostrame tus documentos,' le ordena el policía a Shmerl.
Shmerl los saca y los muestra al oficial. 'Estan en orden. ¿Por que entonces corriste?'
'Lo que sucede es que mi médico me mandó correr cada día por mi salud.'
¿Por que entonces, no paraste cuando viste que te estaba persiguiendo?'
'¿Me estaba persiguiendo? Yo creía que Ud. iba al mismo médico...' respondió Shmerl.

Dos judíos, sentados en un café de Tel Aviv dialogaban:
"Hay solo una salida posible"
"Y, cuál es?" "Israel tiene que declararle la guerra a los EE.UU."
"¿De que estás hablando? Que ayuda sería esa?"
"Bueno, es que perderíamos enseguida y los americanos enviarán una fuerza de ocupación. Harían una alianza con un gobierno nuevo, pro-americano, garantizarán nuestras fronteras, nos inundarán con capitales americanos, establecerán nuestras industrias y tendríamos prosperidad".
"Hmmm ... entiendo tu punto de vista, pero no creo que resulte".
"¿Y, por que no?"
"Porque con la 'suerte' judía ..... ¡ganaríamos la guerra!"

Un antisemita entra en un bar, mira alrededor y ve que hay un solo judío sentado en una mesa. Va a la barra y dice “Pago una cerveza a todos menos al judío ese”. Cuenta 16 clientes, paga y el camarero se encarga de entregar las cervezas a cada uno, menos al judío, que esgrime una sonrisa.
El anti-semita entonces dice, un sandwich especial de lomito bien cargado para cada uno, menos al judío.
Paga, marchan los sandwiches, todos se ponen a comer y beber y el judio esgrime una sonrisa aun mas amplia.
Entonces, el antisemita se acerca al camarero y le pregunta -el judío es idiota o algo así de qué se rie?
Oh, no le contesta el camarero, el señor es el dueño del bar.

- Prontinho - tornou o médico. - Pode ir para casa que o senhor está ótimo! São 50 reais!
Inconformado com a atitude do médico ele disse:
- Doutor, repita 20 vezes: "Já recebi", "Já recebi"!

An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy, a rather rare occurrence in Israel, to say the least.
After examining it, he called the curator of the Israel museum in Jerusalem.
"I've just discovered a 3,000 year old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed.
To which the curator replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out."
A week later, the amazed curator called the archaeologist. "You were right about both the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?"
"Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."
