A Ladino Joke

Saturday, 17 June 2017


Djoha metio un anunsio enfrente de su kaza ke dezia, “Vendo perro ke avla.” Estonses vino un mansevo ke le demando por el perro. Djoha le disho al mansevo ke el perro estava en la parte de atras de la kaza i ke lo podia ver aya.


El mansevo mirandolo al perro le demando, “Es ke tu avlas?”


“Si, siguro”, arespondio el perro.


“Dime, kontame de tu vida?” Le disho el mansevo. 


El perro le empeso a kontar, “Kuando yo era muy chiko deskuvri ke puedia avlar, i empesi a bushkar algun modo de koza para pueder dar benefisio al mundo de esto. Estonses dechidi de avlar kon la jente del Mossad. Pishin me tomaron a lavorar para eyos i me yevaron a lugares kon espias i dinyitarios i terroristos, por kavsa ke dingunos no se pensavan ke un perro entendia todo lo ke dezian. Yo hui un ajente muy valutozo para Mossad. Lavori unos ochos anyos para eyos y me dieron unas kuantas medalyas, ama agora yo esto retirado.


El ombre estava enkantado. Torno ande Djoha i le demando el presio del perro.


"Diez liras.” Le arespondio Djoha.


“Kualo? Ama este perro es inkreible, komo es ke estas demandando solo diez liras?"


"Este perro es mentirozo”, disho Djoha, “El nunka lavoro en el Mossad.

Djoha put up a sign  in front of his house that read “Talking Dog for Sale.” And so a man came to inquire about the dog. Djoha sent him to the backyard and the man saw a Labrador retriever sitting there.


The man asks, "So, you talk?"


"Yep," the dog replied.


"So, what's your story?" asked the man.


The dog looked up and said, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young and I wanted to help out. So I decided to tell the Mossad about my gift, and in no time at all they had me working flat strap, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders and suspected terrorists, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable agents for eight years running. I uncovered some incredible stuff and was awarded a batch of medals. I recently retired, that’s about it."


The guy was amazed. He went back in and asked Djoha what he wanted for the dog.


"Ten dollars." Djoha said.


"This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"


"Because he's a liar, he never worked for the Mossad!"
