Children of Israel - Humour

At Hebrew School, Goldblatt, the new teacher, finished the day's lesson. It was now time for the usual question period.
"Mr. Goldblatt," announced little Joey, "there's something I can't figure out."
"What's that Joey?" asked Goldblatt.
"Well accordin' to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?"
"Right."
"An' the Children of Israel beat up the Philistines, right?"
"Er--right."
"An' the Children of Israel built the Temple, right?"
"Again you're right."
"An' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians, an' the Children of Israel fought the Romans, an' the Children of Israel wuz always doin' somethin' important, right?"
"All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt. "So what's your question?"
"What I wanna know is this," demanded Joey. "What wuz all the grown-ups doin"?


My thanks to Harish Daswani for this joke.

Let us pray

'When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. 

They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes and prayed. 

When we opened our eyes, we had the Bible and they had the land.'

Kamau wa Ngengi also known as Jomo Kenyatta was the First Prime Minister and President of Kenya
