Red, White and Blue Star of David: American-Jewish Humor

(from www.jewishjokes.net)

On George Bush's last trip to Israel, he decides to bring to make a show of diversity, so he brings a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a Muslim Imam, and a Rabbi on Air-Force One. As the flight is going along, the plane experiences engine trouble and all the people on board are asked to make an emergency exit out of the plane by parachute.

Unfortunately there are only four parachutes for the five passengers. The Protestant minister quickly grabs one and says, "I'm representing the most important religion in America, I can't die on this plane," and jumps out.

Then the Catholic priest takes the next parachute and shouts, "I represent the most important religion in Latin America, I also can't die on this plane," and then jumps out.

Bush then takes a parachute and says, "Sorry folks, but I'm simply not going to die on this plane. I am the decider," and jumps out of the plane.

So with only one parachute left the Imam is distraught. "See," he says, "this is symbolic of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, one parachute and two people!"

"Oy, enough already," the Rabbi says. "We'll be fine. Bush took my tallis bag."
