Naches (rhymes with Bach' us, with "Bach" pronounced like the composer)
is what every Jewish parent wants from their children, lots of good
returns, good grades, good spouse, good grandchildren.
So, now that you all understand naches, the joke:
Two Jewish women are sitting having coffee.
"So, how's your daughter?"
"Oh, Rachel! She's fine, she just married a dentist!"
"Really? Isn't she the one that married the lawyer?"
"Yes, that's my Rachel."
"That's... that's nice. But isn't she the same one that married
the doctor?"
"Yes, that's her!"
"But didn't she marry a bank executive before that?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Ahhh. So much naches from one child!"

Nasrudin returned to his village from the imperial capital, and the villagers
gathered around to hear what had passed. "At this time," said Nasrudin, "I
only want to say that the King spoke to me." All the villagers but the
stupidest ran off to spread the wonderful news. The remaining villager
asked, "What did the King say to you?" "What he said -- and quite distinctly,
for everyone to hear -- was 'Get out of my way!'" The simpleton was overjoyed;
he had heard words actually spoken by the King, and seen the very man they
were spoken to.

Nasrudin was carrying home a piece of liver and the recipe for liver pie.
Suddenly a bird of prey swooped down and snatched the piece of meat from
his hand. As the bird flew off, Nasrudin called after it, "Foolish bird!
You have the liver, but what can you do with it without the recipe?"
