FINALLY: From http://www.jewishjokes.net/category/21/0/0/Jewish-Mother - Jewish Jokes: |
Bloomingdales An elderly woman from Brooklyn decided to prepare her will and make her final requests. She told her rabbi she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Bloomingdales. "Bloomingdales?" the rabbi exclaimed. "Why Bloomingdales?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week." |
