The most important Jew in the Lotus

Everyone knows the old joke about the Jewish mother who travels to the Far East to seek an audience with a guru. Passing through the outer doors of his monastery, she is told that she can see him but can only utter five words. She approaches the guru, puts down her bag and says, “So Sheldon, come home already.”
Well, this guy is the real thing. Born Jeffrey Miller, a Jew, he is today the most important American Buddhist, and is better known to millions as the Lama Surya Das. Except to his mother: she calls him the "Deli Lama." And yet, people still respect him. Amazing.

A friend just showed me this neat website full of bar joke
I cant believe the quantity an quality of humerous bar joke it contains
Heres one of the jokes i found on it:
Bob brought some friends home to his apartment one night after they had been out painting the town. One friend noticed a big brass gong in Bobs bedroom and asked about it."Thats not a gong" Bob replied "thats a talking clock. Watch this!"
Bob struck the gong and sure enough a voice on the other side of the wall screamed "Hey your jerk its 3 o'clock in the morning!"
