Ian Smith (Old Jewish joke - Newsline 12th June 2009 Secular Society newsletter) "Anyhow, Pope Ratzinger visiTed Israel. On one of his tours he is taken to the Wailing Wall where he is impressed by the atmosphere of prayer. He is introduced to an old Jewish gentleman who has been praying fervently. 'What do you pray for, old man?' he asks. 'I pray for peace and love, and that all the Jews and Christians and Muslims may be reconciled,' the old man replies. 'And how long have you been praying thus?' Ratzinger asks. '50 years, Holy Father,' the old Jew replies. 'And how do you feel after praying so fervently?' the Holy Father continues. 'It's like talking to a brick wall' the old Jew replies." (Many versions of this old Jewish joke exist)
