Subject: The Gold Teeth

My cousin sent me this and I thought it was so funny I just had to pass it
on:

----- Moisha Rabinowitz in the late 1930s fled his native land of Germany.
He
sold all his assets and converted it to gold and then had 5 sets of solid
gold
false teeth made.

When he arrived in New York the customs official was perplexed as to why
anybody would have 5 sets of gold teeth.  So Moisha explained.

"We Orthodox Jews have two separate sets of dishes for meat products and
dairy
products but I am so kosher and religious I also have separate sets of
teeth."

The customs official shook his head and said, "Well that accounts for two
sets
of teeth.  What about the other three?"

Moisha then said "Vell us very religious Orthodox Jews use separate dishes
for
Passover, but I am so religious I have separate teeth, one for meat and one
for dairy food.

The customs official slapped his head and then said, "You must be a very
religious man with separate teeth for food and dairy products and likewise
for
Passover.  That accounts for four sets of teeth.  What about the fifth set?

"Vell to tell you the truth, once in a while I like a ham sandwich."
