Yossi and Janine, an elderly Jewish couple, are sitting together on an aeroplane flying to the Far East. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning, and this plane will be going down in a few minutes. The good news is that I can see an island below us that should be able to accommodate our landing. The bad news is that this island appears to be uncharted – I am unable to find it on our maps. So the odds are that we will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for a very long time, if not for the rest of our lives. “Yossi turns to Janine and asks, “Janine, dear, did we turn off the oven?” and Janine replies, “Of course. “
“Janine, are our life insurance policies paid up?”
“Of course. “
“Janine, did we pay our pledge for the synagogue appeal?”
“Oh my God, I forgot to send off the cheque. “
“Thank Heaven! They’ll find us for sure!”
