Good News. Bad News.

Members of the Board of Directors are visiting the rabbi, who is in the hospital.  “I have good news and bad news,” the delegation leader says.
“What’s the good news?” the rabbi asks.
“The board voted to wish you a refuah shleimah, a speedy healing.”
“Thank you!” says the rabbi.  “But what’s the bad news?”
And the delegation leader says, “The vote was 10 to 9.”
Rabbi Samuel Cohon

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
