At Least He's Jewish

Explain this joke, it was totally lost on me.

"I've flown this route before."
"When was that?"
"IT WAS ON THE WINGS OF A DEMON!"

He was circumcised.

In that case, the joke really doesn't make any sense. When an uncircumcised penis gets hard, the foreskin rolls back and exposes the head and it looks like a cut penis. Why would Woody Sperm care one way or the other?

Nah... this is sorta like a "jewish insider" joke. When young Jewish women are going to get married etc., all that the parents care about is that he's Jewish. "Well, at least he's Jewish..." That's the best I can explain it.

Jewish men are circumcised when they are eight days old. It is a covenant between the Jews and G-d,so it has a religious significance and nothing to do with an erection.

That is why that joke was made.

But since the guy was laden with Catholic guilt (as in the priest who was sabotaging his erections) it did seem a little strange.

Good point.
