Five Jokes to Start the Week from the Chicago Production of Old Jews Telling Jokes

Today is Monday and it's also Tu B'Shvat, the new year of the trees. We posted our Tu B'Shvat post yesterday so we wouldn't miss starting the week with a joke today.

Since it's a holiday, we're giving you a bonus -- not just one joke, but five in rapid succession. They come from a Chicago production of Old Jews Telling Jokes, and we're thankful to the Chicago Tribune for posting them on YouTube.

The performance was in 2013 when the off-Broadway show went on a national tour. Alex Goodrich, Tim Kazurinsky, Renee Matthews and Gene Weygandt are the performers at the Royal George Theatre.

Enjoy!
