re: Let’s hear a Joke

quote:

---

A Jewish grandfather takes his grandchildren to the beach. They’re playing in the sand when suddenly, a massive wave comes and pulls the smallest grandson out into the water. Panicked, the grandfather prays to God. “Oh God, please bring him back! Please let him live!” Suddenly, an even bigger wave bursts out of the ocean, setting the little boy down right at his grandfather’s feet. He scoops him up into a hug. Then he stares up at the sky and says, “He had a hat.”

I heard this one for the first time the other day on The Old Man (I know it's an old joke). I sat there for a long time trying to figure out if I was missing something.. but I guess the punchline is that the woman's prayers were answered and she still complained. Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with Jewish jokes
