tactful speech

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the *United Nations Assembly and made the world community, smile.***

*A representative from Israel began: *

*"Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. *

*When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought,*

* 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!' He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.

**A Palestinian had stolen them."

The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted,*

*"What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then." The Israeli representative smiled and said *

*"And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.

Nice thinking isnt, i got this article from an email forwarded by Prof. Chandrasekar. Thanks.
