Morris Fishbien
My father-in-law just sent me this joke, which I'm passing on to you with best holliday wishes for Mr. Fishbien's prayers to come true.
Quote:
CNN's Jerusalem Bureau Chief heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out.She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray, and after 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him.
- Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN.What's your name?
- Morris Fishbien.
- Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall to pray?
- About 60 years.
- 60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?
- I pray for peace between Christians, Jews and Muslims. I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man.
- How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?
- Like I'm talking to a ****in' wall.
