FUNNY ISN'T IT?

Funny how $100 "looks" so big when you take it to synagogue, but so small when you take it to the mall.

Funny how long it takes to serve G-d for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.

Funny how long a couple of hours spent at synagogue is, but how short they are when watching a movie.

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.

Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.

Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.

Funny how people scramble to get a front row seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at synagogue services.

Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a synagogue event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.

Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple Midrash well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.

Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven - provided they do not have to believe, or think, or say, or do anything.

Funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding G-d, people think twice about sharing.

Are you laughing? Are you thinking?

Funny isn't it when you go to forward this message how many on your list are not receiving it because you're not sure they believe in anything?

Funny?...No, it's... Sad.
