It was the early 1940s. A tough period for the Jews in Europe.
In America, Milton Berle was cracking jokes. A particular gentile caught his act and could not help but fall on the floor laughing. After the show, the gentile went up to Berle and said, "Hey, you're funny, but you look weird. What are you?" Berle replied, "I'm a Jew." The gentile answered, "A Jew? If all Jews are as funny as you, we should liberate you people from the concentration camps over there in Europe."
Who was that gentile? General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Only the funny Jews were allowed to survive the Holocaust. There is, however, one flaw in my theory: my grandma survived. And let's just thank G-d Eisenhower didn't run into Arlen Specter instead of Milton Berle.
