All other unauthorized use is strictly forbidden. Two Palestinian men are planning to bomb a nearby synagogue. They are both standing behind the counter of a corner deli in old Jerusalem, the older of the pair is the proprietor of the business, and the younger an employee. The younger of the pair is the one who is to carry out this suicide mission in the name of Allah, so that he be martyred and immediately gain admission to Heaven. While the older of the two is holding the suitcase containing the bomb, he is explaining to the younger what he must do: "Walk to the synagogue down the street with this suitcase in hand. When you get to the synagogue, walk in. It will be filled with Jewish worshippers. Once you are in, detonate the bomb by uttering the name of our great brother who spreads the word of Allah, in that most satanic nation of all, the United States." "You mean 'Farrak...', the younger tries to mutter the name before the elder quickly silences him by putting his hand over the youth's mouth. "Do you want to set off the bomb now? Do not say that name until you get into the synagogue!" Meanwhile, as this conversation is taking place, an old woman is in the store looking for canned vegetables. After she finds what she is looking for, she walks up toward the counter, behind which is where the two men are. As she is walking up, the elder man says to the younger, "See that woman with the can of beans? She is a Jew. Don't sell it to her unless she is willing to buy it for (the equivalent of) 2 dollars." "But that's twice as much as we usually sell it for," says the younger, almost complainingly. "I know, just do it!" says the elder, annoyed. The old woman places the can on the counter and asks as she is reaching into her purse, "Young man, how much for this?" "Two dollars," was the reply from the young man behind the counter. The old woman, with a look of disgust, quickly remarked, "Two dollars, are you insane! FOR A CAN of..." KABOOM!!
