Joke for a Thursday morning

This was sent to me by "MM"...

A CNN journalist stationed in Jerusalem heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.

The journalist watched the old man pray, and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she carefully approached him for an interview.

She said, "Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What is your name?

"Morris Feinberg," the old man replied.

The reporter inquired, "Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years." replied the old man.

The reporter said, "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

The old fellow answered, "I pray for peace among the Christians, Jews and Muslims. I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."

The CNN reporter then asked, "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

The old Jewish man replied, "Like I'm talking to a wall!"
