A man decided that life would be more fun if he had a pet. So, he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box home, found a good location for the box and named his new pet Sheldon.
He decided that he would like to take his new pet to the synagogue with him. So, he asked the centipede in the box, "Sheldon, would you like to go to Shul with me today? We will have a good time."
But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "Sheldon, how about going to Shul with me and receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time, this time putting his face right up against the box and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Shul with me and learn about The Lord!?"
A little voice came out of the box........................
"I heard you the first time, I'm putting on my shoes!!!!! "

HAHAHAHAHA! That joke has sole (sorry, couldn't resist).
Now I'm stuck pondering why the bug is named Sheldon.... Sheldons never catch a break. (You do remember the Sheldon commentary in "When Harry Met Sally", no?)
Oh, Miriam...one of the greatest scenes ever (your accountant is named "Sheldon")
Miriam, you're so right, come to think of it. The Sheldon in jokes/stories also often have nagging Jewish mothers with annoying nasal voices! (I even once wrote a humorous piece about a guy on a cell phone talking to his annoying mother. If I'm not mistaken, his name was Sheldon.)
LOL!
Brilliant!!
