Last week we were back at Kutsher's Resort in New York's Catskill mountains, performing our fifth and sixth shows there this season. We also had the pleasure of meeting some very interesting and funny guests with whom we shared good food, stories and jokes in the dining room.

Today's joke teller is Rena Wilen, a 77-year-old retired social worker. Here's the setup:

Enjoy!

me all your money!" The cashier asks "Is that to go?"
Rena is great we enjoyed her company at our Kutsher's non-Klez Kamp....Bernette
