Jewish Joke of the Week: The Cinema Critic
A man walks into a movie theater… followed by an elephant.
The ticket clerk blinks. “Sir. You cannot bring an elephant into the theater.”
“He’s very well behaved,” the man insists. “He loves movies.”
The manager comes out. “Absolutely not.”
“Please,” the man says. “He’ll sit quietly. No noise, no trouble.”
The elephant stands there patiently, holding a small bag of peanuts and looking more polite than most customers.
The manager hesitates, sighs, and finally says, “Fine. But the first problem and you both leave.”
They go in.
Throughout the film the elephant is perfect. He doesn’t make a sound. He watches attentively, leans forward during the exciting parts, and even dabs his eye during an emotional scene.
After the movie the manager runs over.
“I don’t believe it! Your elephant was better behaved than half my audience. He really enjoyed the film!”
The man shrugs.
“Yes, I was surprised too.”
“Surprised?”
“He absolutely hated the book.”
