A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau has an apartment overlooking the Wailing Wall.
Every day when she looks out, she sees an old bearded Jewish man praying vigorously. Certain he would be a good interview subject, the journalist goes down to the Wall, and introduces herself to the old man. She asks, "You come every day to the Wall. Sir, how long have you done that and what are you praying for?" The old man replies, "I have come here to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning I pray for world peace and for the brotherhood of man. I go home have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth. And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and Palestinians." The journalist is impressed. "How does it make you feel to come here every day for 25 years and pray for these wonderful things?" she asks. The old man replies, calmly, "Like I'm talking to a freaking wall." |

The expression that you're 'talking to the wall' is a saying - if nobody was listening to what I was saying that you might say that I was talking to the wall. In this case God isn't answering his prayers so he says its like talking to the wall. The joke being that that's exactly what he is doing.
