[cobra de capell]

A man walked into the women's department of Macy's

in New York City. He found a saleslady, and told her, "I would like a

Jewish bra for my wife, size 34B."

With a quizzical look the saleslady asked, "What kind of bra?"

He repeated "A Jewish bra. She said to tell you that she wanted a

Jewish bra, and that you would know what she means."

"Ah, now I remember," said the saleslady. "We don't get as many

requests for them as we used to. Mostly our customers lately want

the Catholic bra, or the Salvation Army bra, or the Presbyterian bra."

Confused, and a little flustered, the man asked, "So, what are the

differences?"

The saleslady responded. "It is all really quite simple. The

Catholic bra supports the masses. The Salvation Army bra lifts up

the fallen, and the Presbyterian bra keeps them staunch and

upright."

He mused on that information for a minute, and asked, "So, what

does the Jewish bra do?"

"The Jewish bra," she replied, "makes mountains out of molehills."
