"Yiddish proverbs" joke

A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.
A fool is his own informer.
Better a steady dime than a rare dollar.
A heavy purse makes a light heart.
A dead man is mourned seven days, a fool his life time.
Your health comes first - you can always hang yourself later.
One good deed has many claimants.
Tell an ass by his long ears, a fool by his long tongue.
