I have been going through my 'JOYS OF YIDDISH' book (by Leo Rosten) and
came across another cute, but good joke.  It relates to the word Mazel tov
which means congratulations, or good luck.

Mournfuly, Mr Lefkowitz entered the offices of his burial society.  "I've
come to make the funeral arrangements for my dear wilfe."

"Your wife?" asked the astonished secretary.  "But we buried her last year!"

"That was my first wife," sighed lugubrious Lefkowitz.  "I'm talking about my
second wife."

"Second?"  I didn't know you remarried.  Mazel tov!"

				Guess you had to be there,
