True Golda Meir stories
Once, when Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir met with President Richard Nixon, he told her that he would trade any three American generals for Israeli General Moshe Dayan. “OK,” she said, “I’ll take General Motors, General Electric and General Dynamics.”
Also, Meir once said this about Moses: “Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!”
The right answer
One day at kindergarten, a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, “I’ll give $1 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived.”
A little Irish boy put his hand up and said, “It was St. Patrick.” The teacher said, “Sorry Sean, that’s not correct.”
Then a little Scottish boy put his hand up and said, “It was St. Andrew.”
The teacher replied, “I’m sorry, Colin, that’s not right either.”
Finally, a little Jewish boy raised his hand and said, “It was Jesus Christ.”
The teacher said, “That’s absolutely right, Marvin.”
But as she was giving Marvin his money, she said, “You know, Marvin, since you’re Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ.”
Marvin replied, “Yeah, in my heart, I knew it was Moses, but business is business.”
A great profit
Morris went to his rabbi for some needed advice. “Rabbi, tell me: Is it proper for one man to profit from another man’s mistakes?”
“No, Morris. A man should not profit from another’s man mistakes,” answered the rabbi.
“Are you sure, rabbi?”
“Of course I’m sure. In fact, I’m positive,” the rabbi exclaimed.
“OK, rabbi, well if you are so sure, how about returning the $200 I gave you for marrying me to my wife?”
