Billy Bob wanted a job as a signalman on the railways. He was told to meet the inspector at the signal box.
The inspector asked, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading for each other on the same track?"
Billy Bob replied, "I would switch the points for one of the trains."
"What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector.
"Then I'd dash down out of the signal box," said Billy Bob, "and I'd use the manual lever over there."
"What if that had been struck by lightning?"
"Then," Billy Bob continued, "I'd run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box."
"What if the phone was busy?"
"Well in that case," persevered Billy Bob, "I'd rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there."
"What if that was vandalized?"
"Oh, well then I'd run into town and go get my Uncle Lester."
This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?"
Billy Bob answered, "Well, Uncle Lester ain't never seen a train wreck!"

Jewish Buddhism
Take only what is given. Own nothing but your robes and an alms bow. Unless, of course, you have the closet space.
Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as the wooded glen. And sit up straight. You’ll never meet the Buddha with posture like that.
There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?
Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
To practice Zen and the art of Jewish motorcycle maintenance, do the following: Get rid of the motorcycle. What were you thinking?
Learn of the pine from the pine. Learn of the bamboo from the bamboo. Learn of the kugel from the kugel.
Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions. Keep in mind that not every sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.
If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget these simple things and attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.
The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao is not Jewish.
Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy. With the second, satisfaction. With the third, Danish.
The Buddha taught that one should practice loving-kindness to all sentient beings. Still, would it kill you to find a nice sentient being who happens to be Jewish?
To find the Buddha, look within. Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers. Each flower blossoms ten thousand times. Each blossom has ten thousand petals. You might want to see a specialist.
Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?
Zen is not easy. It take effort to attain nothingness. And then what do you have? Bupkes.

Old Mr Cohen brings his son into the business, Cohen's Nails, in the hopes that one day his son will take over.
As time passes Mr Cohen starts getting more and more worried, no matter what department the son is put into he cannot get anything right and is continuously mucking everything up.
After talking to some of his friends and business partners Mr Cohen decides that maybe the reason his son is doing so badly is because he is supervising him too closely so he decides to give him a task to do where the son is in charge.
The task is handle the new advertising campaign. The son is delighted and starts working really hard.
The father is delighted also as it looks like the idea will work. Time passes and the son comes to Mr Cohen and takes him out to see the new billboard. It is in a fantastic position, on the highway, thousands of cars passing it daily, but Cohen almost has a heart attack when he sees it. There is a picture of Jesus hanging on the cross, with the caption "Even back then they used Cohen's nails."
After explaining to his son that many customers are not Jewish and would find this offensive, the son promises to change the sign. Another frantic month of activity and the son comes back to him and drives him out to see the sign.
The new sign has a picture of Jesus lying in a bundle at the bottom of the cross with the caption "If they had used Cohen's nails, this would not have happened!"
