Once upon a time, a
powerful Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai.
After a year, only three applied for the job: a Japanese, a
Chinese and a Jewish Samurai.
"Demonstrate
your skills!" commanded the Emperor.
The Japanese samurai
stepped forward, opened a tiny box and released a fly. He drew his samurai
sword and *Swish!* the fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two!
"What a
feat!" said the Emperor. "Number Two Samurai, show me what you
do."
The Chinese samurai
smiled confidently, stepped forward and opened a tiny box, releasing a
fly. He drew his samurai sword and *Swish! *Swish!* The fly fell to the
floor neatly quartered.
"That is
skill!" nodded the Emperor. "How are you going to top that,
Number three Samurai?"
The Jewish samurai,
Yoku Cohen, stepped forward, opened a tiny box releasing one fly, drew his
samurai sword and *Swoosh!* flourished his sword mightily, but the fly was
still buzzing around!
In disappointment,
the Emperor said, "What kind of skill is that?? The fly isn't even
dead."
"Dead,"
replied Cohen in contempt. "Dead is easy. Now circumcision,
that takes real skill."
