Israeli joke:
An unrepentant sinner dies and arrives before God's tribunal for wicked souls. He is told he is to go to hell but he has some choice in the matter of which hell he will be assigned to.
- What have you got to offer? asks the unrepentant sinner.
- There are three hells: a German Hell, a Swiss Hell and an Israeli Hell.
-What's a German Hell?
-They drop you into boiling water at 8 a.m. and take you out at 4 p.m.
-What's in the Swiss Hell?
-They drop you in boiling water at 8 a.m. and take you out at 4 p.m.
-And in the Israeli Hell?
-They drop you into boiling water at 8 a.m. and take you out at 4 p.m.
After some consideration, the unrepentant sinner decides he wants to go to the Israel Hell.
-Oh? And why is that?
- If it's an Israeli Hell, 8 a.m. is never quite 8 a.m., 4 p.m. is never quite 4 p.m., and chances are that the water has not quite reached boiling point ...
