FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 03/04/15:
An angry wife was complaining
about her husband spending all his free time in a bar, so one night he
took her along with him. "What'll you have?" he asked. "Oh, I don't know. The same as you I suppose," she replied. So, the husband ordered a couple of Jack Daniel's and threw his down in one shot. His wife watched him, then took a sip from her glass and immediately spat it out. "Yuck, that's TERRIBLE!" she spluttered. "I don't know how you can drink this stuff!" "Well, there you go," cried the husband. "And you think I'm out enjoying myself every night!" |

The rose of Jacob is rejoicing As they see as one the sky blue garments of Mordechai
You were their salvation in every generation
To make it known that those that hope in You Will never know shame
Cursed is Haman, who sought my destruction Blessed is Mordechai the Judean Cursed is Zeresh, the wife of my tormentor Blessed is Esther, who has shielded me And let Charvona also be remembered for good
