This seems like an oddly imperious and personal request, but okay.
Re the "German Humor/misunderstood Fuerer" message, it doesn't really
work for me as humor, but I can see that it was meant well. Rephrased
and used in a relevant way and With a proper delivery it might be funny.
Re those Jewish joke fortunes, my impression is that they're supposed to
be put in fortunes-off where they'd be safely rot13ed. (That bug is
ancient, so perhaps they've migrated in the meantime.) There is
certainly a lot of similarly sophomoric material there, along with some
actual offensive material, offensive material of historical interest,
etc. Kind of a mixed bag. Also, it's hard to judge translated jokes,
especially puns.
