Midnight 24th of December at an Israeli army base near Bethlehem. Guard notices an extremely bright star. At the same time he hears a noise. Approaching the gate is a man leading a donkey
with a woman seated sidesaddle on it. They're in Biblical dress. The guy says, "Hey, I've got to get my spouse settled down. She's ready to give birth any minute now. I notice you keep animals and
got a stable back there. We'll take it." Guard answers, "Listen, this is a military installation. You can't stay here. About a mile down the road is a town called Bethlehem. Get a room there."
The guy replies, "We just came through there. Nothing. Place is booked solid." Suddenly, the guard goes through a deja vu type thing. 24th December, bright star, guy with a pregnant
woman seeking a place to bed down. "What's your name?" he asks. The guy says, "Joseph." What's her name. The guy says, "Mary." "Oh!!" says the guard, "I suppose if you have
a baby boy you're going to call him Jesus." "No," is the reply. "We're Arab, not Mexican." Bob Denbow
