Jewish Joke of the Week: The Hat
On a very windy day, a rabbi’s hat blew right off his head and went tumbling down the street.
A young man saw what happened, chased it down, and returned it.
The rabbi was so grateful, he handed him $20 and gave him a blessing.
Feeling lucky, the young man went straight to the racetrack.
He saw a horse named “Top Hat,” bet the $20, and won big.
Next race, he bet it all on a horse named “Stetson,” and won again.
When he got home, his father asked, “So did you bring the money home?”
“No,” said the son. “I lost it all on the last race. There was a horse named ‘Chateau,’ and I figured since that means ‘hat’ in French, it was a sure thing.”
“You fool!” said his father. “Hat in French is chapeau, not chateau! So who won?”
The son sighed.
“Some long shot named Yarmulke.”
