Israel's economy is in a bad way, inflation is getting higher and
immigrants are flooding in from all over the world. Problems,
problems, problems, but what should they do? So the Knesset holds a
special session to come up with a solution.
After several hours of talk without progress one member, Yitzhak,
stands up and says "Quiet everyone, I've got it, I've got the solution
to all our problems. We'll declare war on the United States."
Everyone starts shouting at once. "You're nuts! That's crazy!"
"Hear me out!" says Yitzhak. "We declare war. We lose. The United
States does what she always does when she defeats a country. She
rebuilds everything; our highways, airports, shipping ports, schools,
hospitals, factories, and loans us money, and sends us food aid. Our
problems would be over.
"Sure," says Benny, another minister, "that's if we lose. But what if
we win?"

Nihil novi sub sole.
More evidence for the assertion that all jokes stem from aliens who were
here a long time ago.

literary journal "Playboy" many, many years ago. The thread of the
story was that there was a group of people in a cave that wrote all of
the jokes. These jokes were dispersed by runners to all parts of the
world. Clearly, these runners have been replaced by usenet.
