"Keeping One's Word"

There were two evil brothers. They were rich, and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same synagogue, and looked to be perfect Jews. Then, their Rabbi retired, and a new one was hired. Not only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but he also spoke well and true, and the synagogue started to swell in numbers. A fund-raising campaign was started to build a new assembly.

All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the new Rabbi the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the new building.

"I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint." The Rabbi gave his word, and deposited the check.

The next day, at the funeral, the Rabbi did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family." After going on in this vein for a small time, he concluded with,
"But, compared to his brother, he was a saint."

The tourist was invited to visit the tomb of Israel's unknown soldier and was shocked when taken there-----he could NOT believe his eyes.
There in big letters was inscribed, "Here lies Hyman Goldfarb, Furrier."
The tourist inquired of his guide, "How can this be the tomb of the unknown soldier with the name upon it?"
"As a soldier", he was assured, "he was unknown, but as a furrier, he was famous."

In recent news.......Discovery.....

German scientists dug 50 meters underground and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nationwide telephone network.

Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down, they found small pieces of glass, and they soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nationwide fibre net.

Israeli scientists were outraged. They dug 50, 100 and 200 meters underground, but found absolutely nothing... ...They concluded that the ancient Hebrews 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones...
