This is really old, but back in my day they used to say about Bachumim in shidduchim that you need to find out if he's merely (Mirly) walking or Briskly walking.....

I heard that joke a bit different.
There are three ways a Bachur walks "Briskly" "Mirily" or just for the "ponevezh" (just for the fun of it")

Also my husband said in yeshiva, while singing Yona Matza, they'd sing "uvahu chulam BBrisk Yachad, why did R Avrohom Yehoshua let them all in"

Please explain

Yeshivas Mordechai Hatzaddik is the official name for the hour of learning boys in yeshivish communities do on Purim. Which means the bein hazmanim is reaaaaally long, from one Purim to the next.

Why is Tisha B'av like bein hazmanim?

Because the olam walks around in slides, everyone puts on tefillin at chatzos and no one learns.

You know why Tu Bshvat is always freezing.
Because the freezer opens.

(It's actually true, funnily). It can be a week of 40°, come Tu Bshvat, we're down to 20° in Lakewood.

Is this only yeshivish humor or "not Chassidishe".
Because you heard about the yekke who missed Ashrei.
Baruch Hashem he was there for Yoshvei

A yekke told his wife he'll be home late from Shacharis on December 4th because davening would have vsein tal umatar l'vracha

This old dumb one
(I'm wondering if chsssidim are missing nuances, like I'm missing in the chassidish joke thread, but this one is, I think, is easy to chap)

BJJ and Brisker went on a date.
Brisker- "What's your name?"
"Kelisheva, what's yours?"
"Kelikahu."
And then they sat down and enjoyed ginger keil.

Some bochurim who weren't accepted snuck into Brisk. R' AY announced everyone who doesn't belong should leave. A bochur called out "I'll pay for half the party!"

Oh, you're right, Keilikaku.
But I heard it with Kelisheva. It could have been Baska. (Or maybe even Chakah!! But that wouldn't be such a clear joke.)

I heard an old story of the Brisker Rav but I have no idea if it's true or not, but it's funny.
The Rav came into the kitchen a week before Pesach and saw his wife taking apart the oven and scrubbing with bleach and a toothbrush (or whatever). He said that's not necessary.
She said "if we relied on you, we'd be eating chametz on Pesach"

I think this is true.

After learning together for 20 years,
A man confides to his chavrusa that he a non Jew.

The chavrusa said," but I see you keep Shobbos. You know a non Jew isn't allowed to keep Shobbos"

Man "I do a melacha. I carry something in my pocket."

Chavrusa, " but there is an eirev"

Man "I don't hold from the eirev"
