The Jewish vacation
Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain
announces,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad
news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency
landing Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to
land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued
and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives".
Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands
safely on the island. An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks,
"Esther, did we pay our charity pledge check to Beth Shalom Synagogue
yet?" "No, sweetheart,"she responds.
Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks,
"Esther, did we pay our United Jewish Appeal pledge?
"Oy, no I'm sorry. I forgot to send the check," she says.
"One last thing, Esther, did you remember to send a
check for the Synagogue Building Fund this month?," he asks.
"Oy, forgive me, Abie," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one, either."
Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest hug and kiss in 40
years.
Esther pulls away and asks him, "So, why did you kiss
me?"?
Abe answers, "They'll find us."
