Chinese Restaurant Folks Thank Jews of America for Eating Chinese Food on X-Mas
A bunch of Chinese restaurant folks are thanking American Jews for eating their food during X-Mas. <a href="http://www.mywesternwall.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/X-MasChinese-1.650x950.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1391" src="http://www.mywesternwall.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/X-MasChinese-1.650x950-205x300.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="300" /></a> Which reminds me of an old joke: A Jew and a Chinese person are discussing their cultures. The Chinese guy says, "Our culture is the oldest in the world, being over 4,000 years old." The Jew replies, "Well ours is even older, at over 5,000 years." To which the Chinese guy exclaims, "That's impossible. What did you guys live on for 1,000 years?"
