Abie, a somewhat shy and retiring gentleman who lives a bit southwest,
sent this one on the wisdom of an elderly Jewish man. It's an oldie but
it's funnier every time I read it...
Wisdom From An Elderly Jewish man.
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had
been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a
long, long time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there
he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned
to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him
for an interview.
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?"
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I
pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our
children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their
fellow man. I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the
interests of the people ahead of their own interests."
So the journalist asked, "And how do you feel after doing this for
60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a f*cking wall."
