The Emperor of Japan advertised for a new chief samurai warrior. Three people applied for the job: a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish samurai.

“Demonstrate your skills!” commanded the Emperor.

The Japanese samurai stepped forward and opened a tiny box to release a fly. He drew his sword and swish! The fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two.

The Chinese samurai smiled and opened a tiny box to release a fly. He drew his sword and swish! swish! The fly fell to the floor, neatly quartered.

The Jewish samurai stepped forward and released his fly. He drew his sword and swooooooosh! The speed of his sword created a gust of wind.

The fly let out a high-pitched scream, but continued to fly around.

“What kind of skill is that?” asked the Emperor. “The fly isn’t even dead”.

“Dead, schmead” replied the Jewish samurai. “Dead is easy. But circumcision, now that takes skill.”
