A Great Jewish Joke..

Harry and Esther are flying to Australia for a 3 week holiday to

celebrate their 40th anniversary.

Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces,

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our

engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency

landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be

able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be

rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our

lives."

 Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.

An hour later Harry turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we pay our

Kol Nidre charity pledge to the Synagogue yet?"

 "No, sweetheart," she responds.

 

Harry, still shaken from the crash landing then asks, "Esther, did we

pay our United Jewish Israel Appeal pledge?"

 Oh, no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the cheque, she says.

"One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send a cheque for the

Jewish Care appeal this month?," he asks.

"Forgive me, Harry," begged Esther. "I was so excited about our holiday that

I didn't send that one, either."

 Harry grabs her and gives her the biggest hug and kiss in 40 years.

 Esther pulls away and asks him, " So, why did you kiss me?"

 Harry answers, "They'll find us."
