A little old Jewish man is sitting on a park bench in Moscow, studying
a Hebrew grammar book.  A policeman sees him, and decides to give him
a hard time.

POLICEMAN: "What are you reading there?"

OLD MAN: "A Hebrew text book, sir."

POLICEMAN: "Why are you reading that?"

OLD MAN: "I am old, and will be dying soon, and going to Heaven, and
I want to be prepared to speak the language there."

POLICEMAN: "But what if you end up in the other place?"

OLD MAN: "I already speak Russian."
