The Supreme Leader of Iran gets a phone call.
“Shalom, Mr. Supreme Leader, this is Yankel from a little village in Israel. I’m calling to let you know that our morning minyan is officially declaring war on you.”
“Well, Yankel, this is important news. Tell me, how big is your army?”
“Currently, there is myself, my cousin Moishie, our next door neighbor Yossi, and the entire 6:00 am minyan — that makes 18!”
“I must tell you, Yankel, that I have one million men in my army ready to move on my command.”
“Oy, I’ll call you back.”
Next day.
“All right, Mr. Supreme Leader, the war is still on! We acquired some equipment: two combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Moishie’s tractor from the farm.”
“Yankel, I have 16 thousand tanks and 14 thousand armored carriers.”
“Really? I’ll call you back.”
Next day.
“Hello Mr. Supreme Leader, the war is still on. Now we’re airborne too! We modified Shimmie’s ultra-light with a couple of rifles in the cockpit and the 8:00 am Minyan joined us as well.”
“Yankel, I have a thousand bombers, ten thousand MiG 19 fighter planes, and my bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missiles. And since we first spoke, my army has doubled in size to two million men.”
“Really? I’ll call you back.”
Next day.
“Mr. Supreme Leader, I’m sorry to tell you the war is off.”
“I’m very sorry to hear that, Yankel. Why the change of heart?”
“We all had a chat, and there’s no way we can feed two million prisoners.”
🤣
