THE HALL OF FAMOUS JOKES
presents
Humility
Walking into the
empty sanctuary of his synagogue, a rabbi was suddenly possessed by
a wave of mystical rapture, and threw himself onto the ground before
the Ark proclaiming, "Lord, I'm Nothing!"
Seeing the rabbi in such a state, the
cantor felt profoundly moved by similar emotions. He too, threw himself
down in front of the Ark, proclaiming, "Lord, I'm Nothing!"
Then, way in the back of the synagogue,
the janitor threw himself to the ground, and he too shouted, "Lord,
"I'm Nothing."
Whereupon, the rabbi turned to the
cantor and whispered, "Look who thinks he's Nothing!"
