Tales of wisdom and humor # 4

The slaves and freedom

One day the master told his slaves:

- You are all free.

- What! shouted the slaves. It's not up to you to decide! The initiative

must come from us, otherwise it does not count!

- Very well, replied the master, decide amonst yourselves.

- What! shouted the slaves. You are giving us orders now? What is the point

to be free?

After this bad beginning, the discussion turned sour. It was followed by a

long, a very long war, so long that those who are taking part in it today

have forgotten the reason it started.

 

Self-denial (jewish story)

Three rabbis were sitting in the back of a taxi. The first one sighs and

says:

- When I think about God, I realize that I am not worth much at all.

The second rabbi replied to the first one:

- If you think you are not worth much, then what am I? I am nothing.

The third rabbi says to the second one:

- If you, you are nothing, then what am I? I am less than nothing! I am the

lowest of all.

The taxi driver, a black guy, turns to the three rabbis and tells them:

-If you speak this way, say you are nothing and less than nothing, then what

am I? There is no word to describe me. I do not exist!

The three rabbis then look towards him and say:

- Who does he think he is, this one?
