According to Jewish law, a Jew should not teach the Torah to a non-jew unless that person is willing to become a ger.
Reason? I don't know, but I could guess:
1. The person has some connections with the government, and if he hears something he doesn't like he'll go to the Lord and tell him to kill Jews Chash Vesholem
2. Torah is pure, so can only be learned by Jews? i'm not sure about this one, probably the first answer.

In my family it's called a Muktzah goy!
Two things, first, there area a lot of different opinions involving this issue. Second, you meant a ger tzedek, not just any ger.

It is not true. There have in the passed been issues with second century (and previous) pagans but there is no problem with the 'modern' gentile 'studying' the Torah.
As I write this
Modern Gentile sounds like a decent name for a clothing/cosmetics line.

Matzah is called "the bread of affliction" since it was given to us by our captors in Egypt.
What do you call someone who takes pleasure in the bread of affliction?

Unlike their bread.

That's not entirely true

I wouldn't say you can change the Torah.

A shabbos goy should not be necessary in order to be a sabbath compliant jew.

But fine, here's an actual joke.
A tax inspector is visiting the synagogue. He asks the local rabbi, "I see you sell a lot of candles. What do you do with the left over candle wax". The rabbi answers "we collect it, send it to the manufacturer and once in a while they send us a free box of candles".
"Alright", says the tax inspector, disappointed that the question had such a practical answer. "I also see that you sell a lot of Matzos. What do you do with the bread crumbs?".
The rabbi, figuring that the tax inspector is trying to lure him into a trap, answers "we collect the crumbs, send them to the manufacturer and once in a while they send us a free box of matzos".
"I understand", says the tax inspector, quickly thinking to make it really hard for the rabbi.
"So, with the circumcisions, what do you with the foreskins?" asks the tax inspector.
"Ah", says the rabbi. "We collect those, send them to the tax office, and once in a while they send us a dick to inspect our books".

LOL that's a good one. I know more stories than jokes. I actually know a joke, but it's probably not allowed on NSG.

He was a Jewish-Dutch comedian. I talked to you about him before. I have a book with his jokes *somewhere* at my parents. My last trip there didn't yield any results in finding said book though
