Samurai

     
    
A powerful Japanese  Emperor needed a new Chief Samurai. So he sent out a declaration  throughout the entire known world of that time that he was  searching for a CHIEF Samurai. A year passed, but only 3 people  applied for the very demanding position; a Japanese Samurai, a  Chinese Samurai and a Jewish Samurai
 
The emperor asked  the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be  the chief Samurai. The Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and  out popped a bumblebee.

Whoosh! went his sword, and the  bumblebee dropped dead on the ground.

The emperor exclaimed  "That is very impressive!"

The emperor then issued the same  challenge to the Chinese Samurai, to come in and demonstrate why  he should be chosen. The Chinese samurai also opened a match box  and out buzzed a fly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! and the fly dropped  dead on the ground in four small pieces.

The emperor  exclaimed: "That is VERY impressive!"

Now the emperor  turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him to demonstrate why he  should be the Chief Samurai. The Jewish Samurai also opened a  match box, and out flew a gnat. His flashing sword went  Whoosh!

But the gnat was still alive and flying  around.

The emperor, obviously  disappointed, said: "Very ambitious!, but why is that  gnat not dead?"

The Jewish Samurai just smiled and said:  "Circumcision is not meant to  kill."
