A rabbi and his wife were preparing for the Sabbath.
"Moshe, go to a farm and purchase a live chicken," she said. "I want you to kill it and make it kosher."
The old rabbi nodded, put on his coat, went out the door and headed for the nearest farm so he could purchase a live chicken.
On the way back, he noticed a movie theatre, which specialized in classic movies. This night, the movie which was being shown was a 1934 Polish film starring Molly Picon called "Yidl Mitn Fidl"...or, in English, "Yidle and His Fiddle". This was a film the old rabbi hadn't seen since he was a boy in Poland. He wanted so much to see it again...for old time's sake. Since it was being shown this one night only, the rabbi put the chicken down his pants, purchased a ticket and walked into the theatre.
Halfway through the film, the chicken started cackling for air. The old rabbi opened his zipper so that the bird could breathe.
An old woman sitting next to him looks at the chicken, then the old rabbi and then the chicken once more.
"Hey, Mabel," she said, turning to her friend who sat to her left. "Get a load of this!"
Mabel looked at what her friend wanted her to see.
"So what, Gladys," Mabel said. "You've seen one, you've seen them all."
"Yeah...but this one's eating my popcorn!!!"
