JUST FOR FUN

Two men, a Jew and a gentile, 
were marooned on a desert 
island. The gentile immediately 
got to work, dragging rocks 
to spell out “SOS” in huge 
letters on the beach, gathering 
driftwood to build a bonfire and 
thinking about ways to build a 
boat.

The Jew, however, merely sat 
on the beach and waited.
“What’s the matter with you?” 
the gentile exclaimed. “Don’t 
you want to be rescued?”
The Jew said calmly, “Look, I 
live in a city with a big Jewish 
Federation. Last year, I donated 
a million dollars to them. The 

year before, I donated a million 
dollars to them. This year, 
wherever I am, they’ll find me!”
