The American President goes on a fact finding visit to Israel. While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and dies.


The undertaker tells the State Department officials accompanying him, " You can have him shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land for $100. "

The Americans go into a corner and confer for a few minutes. They come back to the undertaker and tell him they want him shipped home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks, "why would you spend $50,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here, and you would only spend $100? "

The Americans reply, " Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take that risk."
