A Jew and a Christian Scientists shared a hospital room and
a terrible leg disease. Both were treated
by the same doctor who came in frequently to examine each man’s leg.
When the doctor looked at the Christian Scientist’s leg the
man would scream in agony. When the Jew’s
leg was touched, he would grit his teeth but utter no sound.
After a few days the Christian Scientist turned to the
Jew. “”I’m the Christian Scientist who
has been taught since early childhood to ignore pain and suffering. Yet, I cannot bear to be touched. How can you make no sound?”
“Shmegegee!” replied the Jew.
“Do you think I show him the bad leg?” -Michael Brooks
