The rabbi walks into his synagogue and
says to the first man he meets, "Do you
want to go to heaven?" The man said,
"I do, rabbi." The rabbi said, "Then
stand over there against the wall."
Then the rabbi asked the second
man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the
wall," said the rabbi.
The rabbi walked up to Finklestein
and said, "Do you want to go to heav-
en?" Finklestein said, "No, I don't,
rabbi." The rabbi said, "I don't believe
this. You mean to tell me that when you
die you don't want to go to heaven?"
Finklestein said, "Oh, when I die,
yes. I thought you were getting a
group together to go right now."
