The Western Wail
A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau had an apartment overlooking the Western Wall and every day she saw an old bearded Jewish man praying vigorously. So she went down to the wall, intent on interviewing him.
"I see you at the Wall every day, sir. How long have you been doing that and what are you praying for?"
The old man replies, "I have to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning, I pray for world peace and for the brotherhood of man. I go home to a have a cup of tea, then come back and pray for eradication of illness and disease from the earth. And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and Palestinians."
Deeply impressed, she asks, "How does it make you feel to come here every day for 25 years and pray for these things?"
The old man replies, calmly, "Like I'm talking to a friggin' wall."
