My Three Sons

A Jewish father, Moisha, has three sons: Yitzak, Schlemiel and Chutzpah. He is proud of his three sons and hope they marry good Jewish girls and have a lot of children.

Number one son, Yitzak visits his father and tells him he is going to marry. His father dances with joy and sings Hava Nagila.... "Tell me, is she a good Jewish girl and what is her name?"

"O Brian is her name and she is Catholic".

"Oy!" say his father...."But are you happy?"

"Yes, Papa, I am very happy."

"As long as you're happy, my son ... my blessings to you both of you," replies Moisha. But the father is counting on the two remaining sons to marry good Jewish girls.

A month later number two son, Schlemiel, announces that he is planning to get married. Again, Moisha breaks out in a dance and sings God's praises..... "What is her name?” asks Moisha.

"Kazalopodopolous and she is a Greek Orthodox," says #2 son.

"Oy," says his father...."But are you happy?"

"Yes, I am very happy."

"Ok, then you too have my blessing," intones Moisha. Dejected, Moisha goes to the Temple to pray. "Please God....let my remaining son, Chutzpah, marry a nice Jewish girl to raise nice Jewish children in your eyes....PLEASE," he cries out.

Later on, number three son, Chutzpah comes to his father excitedly and exclaims, "Father, I am to wed in the spring."

"HER NAME..HER NAME....WHAT IS HER NAME" asks Moisha.

"Goldberg," replys his son and Moisha is beside himself with joy. "Praise God...Praise the Prophets!" he shouts. Turning to Chutzpah, he asks, "Is she the wealthy Doctor Goldberg's daughter Shelly, from Los Angeles?"

"No" says Chutzpah.

"Humm...she must be the wealthy attorney Goldberg’s daughter Rachel from Beverly Hills" says Moisha.

"Ah, no, Father," says Chutzpah.

"What is her first name, my youngest, truest, most beautiful son?"

With a swelling chest he tells his father, "Whoopi."
