An oldie for sure, but one that makes me laugh every time I read it...

One day overseas...

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 very 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."

Pausing to take a breath, he continued: "I pray that politicians tell us the truth
and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f**king wall."
