Ancestors
Published Nov 22, 2002

An American, an Englishman an Israeli were indulging in a bit of boasting.
The American said, "One of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence."
The Englishman spoke up and said, "That's nothing--one of my ancestors was present at the signing of the Magna Carta."
The Israeli just said, "You think that is something? Remember one of my ancestors drew up the Ten Commandments."
