RIP, Jackie Mason, the former rabbi

Jackie Mason, the former Jewish rabbi who turned to stand-up comedy when he was in his late 20s, died last Saturday at the age of 93. RIP, funny guy. Mason kicked off his career in the mid-1950s with jokes like this one about physicians: “That’s a great profession, a doctor. Where else can you ask a woman to get undressed and then send a bill to her husband?” In today’s PC world, that joke would draw criticism. Another non-PC joke from the comedic great: “You can’t please everyone. I have a girlfriend. I think she’s the most wonderful person in the world. That’s to me.
