An emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new chief samurai warrior.
Only three applied for the job; Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish
samurai. \"Demonstrate your skills,\" commanded the emperor.
The Japanese samurai stepped forward, opening a tiny box and released a
fly. He drew his sword and, Swish! The fly fell to the floor, neatly
divided in two.
The Chinese samurai smiled, and then opened a tiny box, releasing a fly.
He drew his sword. Swish! Swish! The fly fell to the floor neatly
quartered.
No. 3 samurai stepped forward, released a fly, and drew his sword.
SWOOOOOOOOSH! The speed of his sword created a gust of wind. The fly let
out a high-pitched sound, but continued to fly around. \"What kind of
skill is that?\" asked the emperor. \"The fly isn\'t even dead.\"
\"Dead, schmead,\" replied the Jewish samurai. \"Dead is easy. But
circumcision - that takes skill!\"
