Not PC Jewish-themed Joke

Was sent this:

The President of the Reform Temple Saul Goldberg is greatly distraught and can not sleep nights.

He decides to visit with the Rabbi of the temple , Rabbi Sally Johnson and explain why he is so upset and to seek her advice.

Rabbi , he explains , as you know "I have been a loyal and devout member of the Reform temple and movement all my life. Unfortunately, my daughters went against all my advice and married men that greatly upset me."

Rabbi Sally asks , "Really , Saul , how so ?"

Well, Saul explains , "My first daughter became Modern Orthodox which as you know greatly upset me. But she married a Medical doctor , and even though he was 100 percent Orthodox and they send their children to an Orthodox Yeshiva, at least, when its not Shabbat or a Jewish holiday he watches TV and he is a Mets fan like me. So I was upset, but at least I can somewhat handle it."

"My second daughter was tougher for me. She also became Observant and married an Orthodox man. This guy had no College education at all but became a very wealthy diamond merchant. He also wears a Long beard with Payos with his Tzitzit out with a Big Black hat and I am too embarrassed to introduce him to any of my liberal friends. But, I will say, he treats my daughter well and He does give her everything she wants , so I tolerate the situation"

Saul sighs, and Rabbi Sally asks ," Is the Third daughter that tough to take ?"

Saul replies, Rabbi Sally, "My third daughter went against all my Liberal thinking. She not only of course Married an Orthodox Man and I have all Orthodox grandchildren, she married a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force who was known to assassinate, with great precision, the biggest leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah from the air.

To make matters worse, Likud may be drafting him as a candidate to run for Prime Minister after he finishes his Army career.  "All my liberal friends are upset at me and tell me he is killing an oppressed people. Saul further explains, "The fact my daughters family is very right wing and Orthodox makes it harder for me as my liberal friend remind me that it looks like Israel will all become Orthodox because of the birth rate !"

Rabbi , How do I show my face at the Interfaith Council anymore?  Why are all my grandchildren Orthodox?  Where did I go wrong ?"

Rabbi Sally ponders the thought for a moment and asks :
"Did you check your Mezuzas ?"
