A Jewish couple, are sitting
together on an airplane
flying to the
Far East. 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 this plane will be going down
momentarily. Luckily, I see an
island below us that should be able to
accommodate our landing. This
island appears to be uncharted; I am
unable to find it on our maps. So
the odds are that we will never be
rescued and will have to live on
the island for a very long time, if
not
for the rest of our
lives. A few minutes later the plane lands safely
on
the island,
whereupon Morris turns to his wife and asks, “Esther, did
we pay our
pledge to the Yeshiva yet?” No Morris!” she responded.
Morris smiles,
then asks, “Esther, did we pay our UJA pledge?”
“Oy no, I forgot to
send the check!!” Now Morris laughs.
“One last thing, Esther.
Did you remember to send our Temple
Building Fund check this
month?” “Oy Morris I forgot that one too!”
Now Morris is practically
choking with laughter. Esther asks Morris,
“So what are you smiling and
laughing about?

Morris responds, “They’ll find us.”
