Marriage

A Jewish boy is going off to college, and his father says to him, "Look, we've never been a religious family, so I'm not expecting you to become suddenly religious. But promise me one thing: you won't marry a shiksa."

The boy promises.

Sure enough, his senior year in college, the boy falls in love with a non-Jewish woman. She loves him too, but he tells her he can't marry her because she's not Jewish.

"Don't worry," she says, "I'll convert."

After serious study, the woman converts. They marry and go off on their honeymoon. Four weeks later, Saturday morning at 9:00, the doorbell rings in their house. It's the boys father. He's very upset. "You know that the last Saturday of every month we go over the books at the office. Why didn't you come down?"

"I couldn't come," the boy says, "My wife says it's forbidden. It's Shabbat."

The father screams at his son, "I told you not to marry a shiksa!"
