A British Jew (and Bible) joke from 1823.



Ba dum ching.

This joke was printed in several places, but the one I got it from is from a periodical called The Spirit of the Public Journals.

  1. What am I missing about Emori and Chiti stereotypes? I only know Darchei Emori in the sense of irrational superstitions.

  2. That had me too because I was doing rishon rishon and trying to associate Pugilism with Amorite. I thougt Hittite was "hitting" on women :)
