Abe & Esther

:p>:p>
Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two-week
vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Suddenly,
over the public address system, the Captain announces,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad
news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will
attempt an emergency landing Luckily, I see an uncharted
island below us and we should be able to land on the beach.
However, the odds are that we will may never be rescued and
will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!"

Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.
An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, "Esther, did we pay our
charity pledge cheque to Beth Shalom Synagogue yet?"

"No, sweetheart," she responds.

Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, "Esther, did we pay
our United Jewish Appeal pledge?"

"Oy, no! I'm sorry. I forgot to send the cheque," she says.

"One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send a cheque for the
Synagogue Building Fund this month," he asks?

"Oy, forgive me, Abe," begged Esther. "I didn't send that one, either."

Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years.

Esther pulls away and asks him, "So, why did you kiss me?"

Abe answers, "They'll find us." :p>:p>
