One of my editorial taks at j. is to compile a weekly column of Jewish jokes. It’s a lot more challenging than is seems because most of them are too dirty, self-loathing, stupid or otherwise inappropriate for the demographic.

But this one’s clean and clever, with the added bonus of being a Top 10 List. And I think Kinky would like it, too.

The Top 10 Jewish Country Songs

1. “I Was One of the Chosen People (’Til She Chose Somebody Else)”

2. “Honky Tonk Nights on the Golan Heights”

3. “I’ve Got My Foot on the Glass, Where Are You?”

4. “My Rowdy Friend Elijah’s Coming Over Tonight”

5. “New Bottle of Whiskey, Same Old Testament”

6. “Stand by Your Mensch”

7. “Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Latkes”

8. “I Balanced Your Books, but You’re Breakin’ My Heart”

9. “My Darlin’s a Shmendrick and I’m All Verklempt”

10. “Mamas Don’t Let Your Ungrateful Sons Grow Up to Be Cowboys (When They Could Very Easily Have Just Taken Over the Family Hardware Business That My Own Grandfather Broke His Back to Start and My Father Built Up Over Years of Effort Which Apparently Doesn’t Mean Anything Now That You’re Turning Your Back on Such a Gift)”
