A reporter goes to Israel looking for something emotional, positive and of human interest. In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for almost all of his adult life.
So she went to check it out. She goes to the Wailing Wall and there he is! She watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.
“Amanda Andrews, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?”
“For about 50 years.”
“What do you pray for?”
“For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to stop. For our children to grow up in harmony and with the friendship of all people.”
Man, this is my one-year-old’s favourite song (with a few lightly different lines). Must have heard it 50 times in the past week. The best two lines…
Q: What do you call a donkey with three legs and one eye, wearing blue suede shoes, playing a piano, badly, and who got up early and hadn’t had any coffee?

This one works better in real life, but I’ll set you out the foundations, the words you speak are in “quotation marks”, the words they speak are in italics
“ask me knock knock” knock knock
“Who’s there?” embarrassed silence
I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 dollars that he
couldn’t reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks
are too high. haha
