Beef, a gentleman of sharp wit and electrifying personality who lives southwest sent this one about a rabbi in outer space.

NASA had sent many many shuttles to orbit the earth and made an attempt to include passengers of all races, colors and creeds. They recently realized they had excluded the clergy, so they invited a priest, a minister and a rabbi to orbit the earth in a shuttle.

Upon their return, crowds of people formed to hear their impressions.

First the priest emerged, beaming and happy, his statement was full of joy. He said, "I saw the sun rise and set, I saw the beautiful oceans."

Then the minister emerged, also happy and at peace. He said, "I saw the magnificent earth, our home. I saw the majestic sun. I'm truly in awe!"

Then the rabbi came out. He was completely disheveled, his beard was tangled and pointing in every direction, his keepah was frayed, his tallit was wrinkled like you can't imagine.

They asked him, "Rabbi, did you enjoy the flight?"

He threw his hands in the air crazily and replied, "ENJOY??? What was to enjoy??? Oy vey... Oy Vey! Every 5 minutes the sun was rising and setting! On with the tfillin, off with the tfillin, mincha, maariv, mincha, maariv... Oy Gevalt! "

Note: A Tallit is a prayer shawl and keepah is another word for yarmulke. Tfillin (or tefillin) refers to items used in Jewish prayer ritual. Mincha and maariv refer to afternoon and evening prayers, respectively.
