The Emperor of the Rising Sun advertised for a new Chief Samurai Warrior.

Only three applied for the job: a Japanese, a Chinese and a Jewish Samurai.

"Demonstrate your skills!" commanded the Emperor.

The Japanese Samurai stepped forward, opening a tiny box and released a fly.
He drew his sword and, Swish! The fly fell to the floor, neatly divided in two.

The Chinese Samurai smiled, then opened a tiny box, releasing a fly.
He drew his sword. Swish!Swish! The fly fell to the floor, neatly quartered.

The third Samurai stepped forward, released a fly and drew his sword.
SWOOOOOSH! The speed of his sword created a gust of wind.
The fly let out a high-pitched sound, - but continued to fly around.

"What kind of skill is that?" demanded the Emperor. "The fly isn't even dead!"

"Dead, schmead" replied the Jewish Samurai.
"Dead is easy. But circumcision, - that takes skill!"
