Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two week vacation to
celebrate their 40th anniversary.
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 we will attempt an emergency
landing.
Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to
land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued
and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives".
Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the
island. An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we
pay our charity pledge check to Beth Shalom Synagogue yet?" "No,
sweetheart.” she responds. Abe, still shaken from the crash landing,
then asks, "Esther, did we pay our United Jewish Appeal pledge?”
"Oy, no I'm sorry. I forgot to send the check," she says. "One last
thing, Esther, did you remember to send a
check for the Synagogue Building Fund this month?" he asks. "Oy,
forgive me, Abie," begged Esther.
"I didn't send that one, either."
Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest hug and kiss in 40 years.
Esther pulls away and asks him, "So, why did you kiss me?"
Abe answers, "They'll find us."
