	Here is a jewish jokes that will probably fly right by you goyim
out there in netland.

	I must tell you how my family came to be settled in the old west. ( I
really am from New Mexico.)  Years ago, around 1870, my great grandfather heard
that there were rabbis neaded in San Fransisco.  Bravely, he leaped into the
breach, sailing to New York.
	There he was, gaberdine and side curls ( The word in yiddish I can't
spell) in New York, holding his talmud under one arm the the torah under the
other.  With the last of his money, he baught a ticket to SF on the next train.
	The train, new and shiney, took him to Saint Louis, were he was
transfered to a rickety old hunk of junk locomotive to take him the rest of the
way.  As he rode the train he thought about the stories he had heard of the
legendary cowboys of the west.
	Suddenly, hoof beats sounded next to the train, and the train began to
slow.  The back doors burst open, and a hugh, seven foot tall cowboy covered
with dust appeared.  He was armed with two hugh sixguns, one at each hip and he
wore a hugh fifty gallon hat.  He glowered at the travellers and then said," are
there and Jews on this train?"
	"oh, no," my great grandfather thought, "the pogrom has come."  Trying
to appear calm, he went back to reading his torah.  The cowboy stormed up the
corridor of the train.  "Are there any Jews here?" he asked again.  My great
grandfather began to shake.  The cowboy stomped up to him and grabbed his
shoulder and said, "Are you a Jew?"
	My grandfather, figuring his time had come, looked up from the torah
and said, "Yes, I am a Jew."  The cowboy replied.
	"Come with me.  We need a tenth man for a minion."
