During the Yom Kippur/Ramadan War, an Israeli who had business in Egypt found it necessary to cross the border with his family. At the border, the following conversation ensued:
Egyptian border guard: “Halt! Who goes there?”
Israeli: “My name is Joseph. I have urgent business to attend to in Egypt.”
“Who is the woman with you?”
“My wife, Mary.”
“And what is the name of the child?”
“Jesus.”
After scrutinizing them carefully, the guard said, “Okay, you can pass.”
As soon as they were out of earshot of the guard, the man turned to his wife and said, “I told you it would work! He thought we were Puerto Ricans!”
Note to my Puerto Rican friends (as well as Egyptians, Israelis, and Christians): I love you all, and no harm is intended, but this joke always made me smile!
