Jagat Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 A journalist assigned to a Jerusalem bureau has an apartment overlooking the Western Wall. Every day when she looks out, she sees an old bearded Jewish man praying vigorously. She was certain he would be a good interview subject. The journalist goes down to the Wall, and introduces herself to the old man. She asks, "You come every day to the Wall. Sir, how long have you done that and what are you praying for?" The old man replies, "I have come here to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning, I pray for world peace and for the brotherhood of man. I go home have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication of disease from the earth. And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and Palestinians." The journalist is impressed. "How does it make you feel to come here every day for 25 years and pray for these wonderful things?" she asks. The old man replies, calmly, "Like I'm talking to a f***ing wall."

Tarun Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Be careful to whom u tell this joke. U may be dubbed anti-semitic. I just told it to one man while I was on subway headed out to HarinAm. He appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagat Posted April 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 I don't know where the joke comes from originally, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Jew who wrote it. Jewish type of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
