IMPOSSIBLE WORDS TO SAY WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK

Thanks, but I don't want sex.

Nah, I don't want another drink.

No shish kebab for me, thank you.

Sorry, but you're not good looking enough for me.

Good evening, officer

I'm not interested in fighting you.

No one wants to hear me sing.

JEWISH AIR-CONDITIONING

It was a sweltering August day when the Cohen

brothers entered the posh Dearborn, Michigan, offices

of Henry Ford, the car maker, " Mr. Ford, " announced

Norman Cohen, the eldest of the three. " We have a

remarkable invention that will revolutionise the

automobile industry. "

Ford looked skeptical, but their threat to offer it

to the competition kept his interest piqued.

" We would like to demonstrate it to you in person. "

After a little cajoling, they brought Mr. Ford

outside and asked him to enter a black automobile

parked in front of the building. Hyman Cohen,

the middle brother, opened the door of the car.

" Please step inside, Mr. Ford. "

" What! " shouted the tycoon, " Are you crazy? It must

be two hundred degrees in that car! "

" It is, " smiled the youngest brother, Max, " but sit

down Mr. Ford and push the white button. " Intrigued,

Ford pushed the button. All of a sudden a whoosh of

freezing air started blowing from vents all around the

car and within seconds the automobile was not only

comfortable, it was quite cool.

" This is amazing! " exclaimed Ford. " How much do you

want for the patent? "

Norman spoke up, " The price is one million dollars. "

Then he paused. And there is something else. The

name 'Cohen Brothers Air-conditioning' must be stamped

right next to the Ford logo! "

" Money is no problem, " retorted Ford, " but no way

will I have a Jewish name next to my logo on my cars!'

They haggled back and forth for a while and finally

they settled. Five million dollars, but the Cohens'

name would be left off. However, the first names of

the Cohen brothers would be forever emblazoned upon

the console of every Ford air conditioning system.

And that is why, even today, whenever you enter a

Ford vehicle, you will see those three names clearly

printed on the air conditioning control panel:

.. . . .NORM, HI and MAX.

I believe-that you can do something in an instant that will give you

heartache for life.
