The problems
A man walks into a bar and says, "Give me a beer before problems start!"
Again, the man orders a beer again saying, "Give me a beer before problems start!"
The bartender looks confused.
This goes on for a while, and after the fifth beer the bartender is totally confused and asks the man
"When are you going to pay for these beers?"
The man answers, "Now the problems start!"

The Appreciated Gift
Four Jewish brothers left home for college, and they became successful
doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after
having dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to
give to their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."
The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the
house."
The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600 with a
chauffeur."
The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the
Torah and you know she can't read it anymore because she can't see very
well. I met this Rabbi who told me about a parrot that can recite the
entire Torah. It took twenty rabbis 12 years to teach him. I had to
pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the temple, but it
was worth it. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse and the
parrot will recite it."
The other brothers were impressed.
After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote:
"Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have
to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."
"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries
delivered, so I never use the Mercedes...and the driver you hired is a Nazi.
The thought was good. Thanks."
"Menachim, you give me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could
hold 50 people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and
I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the
same."
"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a
little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you."
