"No wonder. It speaks for itself.

We can deduct the message of your dad's joke and wonder how you ended up as warped as you did."

Wait, is it 'no wonder' or does it 'make you wonder'? You need to express yourself more clearly.

What would you say is the message of the joke?

I'd say it is a sweeping generalization stating that Jews are argumentative and overly concerned with religous status as oppposed to piety. It's also a commentary on how Brooklyn Jews of my fathers class felt a need to own more truth than their peers, always be right. I've always find Jews write the best Jew jokes, but then you have a jones against Mel Brooks, for the love of Christ. I bet you don't like Philip Roth or Bernard Malamud either.
