§344 Joke – heard in the UN

A representative from Israel began: “Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, ‘What a good opportunity to have a bath!’ He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them.” The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted,”What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren’t there then.” The Israeli representative smiled and said:- “And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.”
