      Sorry. late response, questionable phrasing. I read a book full of Yiddish jokes once and the punchlines often involved subverting your expectations of the premise.

      Like, “What’s red, wet, and hangs on a wall?” the answer is a Herring or something similar and when someone questions that, you simply explain that you can paint a Herring and hang it wherever. Possibly add other nonsense to further confuse.

      It’s dry, I love it

      An ass-joke is a joke about a donkey so a Hebrew ass joke is a joke about a Jewish donkey.
