Back in the time of the Samurai there was a powerful emperor who needed
a new chief Samurai, so he sent out a declaration throughout the country
that he was searching for one. A year passed, and only 3 people showed up:
a Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai, and a Jewish Samurai. The emperor
asked the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be the
chief Samurai. The Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and out popped a
bumblebee. Whoosh! went his sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the
ground in 2 pieces.
The emperor exclaimed: That is impressive! The emperor then
asked the Chinese Samurai to come in and demonstrate. The Chinese Samurai
also opened a match box, and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh, Whoosh! went his
sword, and the fly dropped dead on the ground in 4 small pieces. The
emperor exclaimed:That is really VERY impressive! The emperor
then had the Jewish Samurai demonstrate why he should be the head
Samurai.The Jewish Samurai also opened a match box, and out flew a
gnat. His flashing sword went Whooooosh! Whooooosh! But the gnat was still
alive and flying around.
The emperor, obviously disappointed, asked: After all of that,
why is the gnat not dead?
The Jewish Samurai smiled. Well, he replied,
circumcision is not meant to kill.
