One day G-d was walking around heaven and decided He needed a “chosen people."
So he first approached the Arabs. "Would you be my chosen people?" "What do we have to do?" "Obey my commandments." They read the commandments, came to "Thou shalt not steal" and said "no thanks." Then He approached the Germans. "Would you be my chosen people? "What do we have to do?" "Obey my commandments." They read the commandments, came to "Thou shalt not kill" and said, "No thanks.” Then G-d approached the Jews. "Would you be my chosen people?" "What do we have to do?" "Obey my commandments." "How much are they?" asked the Jews. "Free," said G-d. "Good, we'll take ten."
