A Chinese businessman operating out of south China suffers a string of robberies. He calls up his associate in Israel and asks him if he ever had a problem with robberies.

“Not really,” replies the Israeli. “We have this thing we put on the doorpost - called a mezuzah - and it protects our homes from harm.”

“Send me one,” begs the Chinese guy, “I’m desperate for a solution.”

A few weeks later, the Israeli gets his mezuzah back in the mail. He calls up his Chinese friend. “Nu,” he asks him. “The mezuzah didn’t work? You were robbed again?”

“No, no,” the Chinese guy assures him, “no robberies.”

”So why did you send it back?”

The Chinese guy sighs. “I dunno,” he says. “Ever since I hung it up, the doorbell doesn’t stop ringing. Each time a different dude standing there, saying the same thing: ‘Hachnassas Karrah!’”

I don't get it.

...as in 'Tzedakah for the mitzvah of Hachnasat Kallah'

That has got to be the second dumbest joke ever posted on this board.

I guess you don't have them ringing your bell every hour. (Have you checked your Mezuzah?)

Oh, I do. It's just a dumb joke.

Well, if the joke is partially a play on Chinese pronounciation of English, then why didn't he pronounce the other "l"s as "r"s? [And I think sometimes they also confuse "r"s as "l"s.]
