They Don’t Tell Such Jokes of Diaspora Jews…

A non-observant Israeli Jew once handed his mezuzos to a rabbi for inspection. The rabbi soon returned them all, apologetically noting he found nothing wrong.

Do you mind me asking what terrible misfortune caused you to check your mezuzos?

Oh rabbi, it’s terrible. My children are becoming religious all of a sudden!

The joke is funny because it sounds almost plausible.
