Unabashed joke

[Art Werschulz]

Hi all.

Heard from a friend ...

A woman went to the Post Office to buy stamps for her Chanukah cards.
"What denomination?" asked the clerk.

"Oh, good heavens! Have we come to this?" replied the woman. "Well,
give me 50 Conservative, 2 Orthodox, and 37 Reform ones."

IOW, I doubt this was originally Jewish.

I first heard it in a Xtian context, but either way it's funny.
