Search for a New Samurai




Back in the time of the Samurai there was a powerful emperor who needed a
new head 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 head Samurai.
The Japanese Samurai opened a match box and out pops a little fly. Whoosh
goes his sword and the fly drops dead on the ground in 2 pieces. The emperor
exclaimed: "That is very impressive!"

The emperor then asked the Chinese Samurai to come in and demonstrate.  The
Chinese Samurai also opened a match box and out pops a fly. Whoosh whoosh
goes his sword. The fly drops dead on the ground in 4 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 pops a fly.
His flashing sword goes - whoooooooossshhh - whoooooooossshhh -
whoooooooossshhh - whoooooooossshhh  whoooooooossshhh.  A gust of wind fills
the room, but the fly is still alive and buzzing around.  The emperor,
obviously disappointed, asks: "After all of that, why is the fly not dead?"
The Jewish Samurai smiled, "Well, circumcision is not intended to kill."
