Current joke here in Israel:
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the Tel
Aviv/Jerusalem highway. Nothing is moving in either
direction. Suddenly a man knocks on his window.
The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What
happened, what's the hold up?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Prime Minister Olmert,
Defense Minister Barak, and their chief of staff.
They are asking for a $100 million ransom.
Otherwise, they are going to douse them with
gasoline and set them on fire.
We are going from car to car, taking up a
collection."
The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone
giving?"
"About a gallon."
