Weekly joke
As you know President Obama just returned from China .  While he was 
there the premier of China gave him a gift of a beautiful bolt of cloth. 
- 
  When President Obama returned he wanted to have a suit made from the 
cloth so he called a tailor on London 's famous Seville Row to come over 
and make him a suit. 
- 
When the tailor arrived he measured the President and he measured the 
cloth and declared that he could not make him a suit.  "There is not 
enough material" the tailor said. 
 
The President was disappointed but after thinking about it for a while 
he called the French Ambassador and asked him if he could recommend a 
French tailor that could make him a suit.  The Ambassador said that he 
would have one of France 's top men's designers flown over to make him a 
suit. 
 
When the French designer arrived he measured the President and he 
measured the cloth and declared that he could not make him a suit. 
"There is not enough material" the designer said. 
- 
President Obama was disappointed and happened to mention the problem to 
the Israeli Ambassador.  The Ambassador told him not to worry.  He 
knew of a tailor in Israel that could make him a suit from this fine 
cloth. 
==  
A few days later Yankel shows up at the White House. He measured the 
President and he measured the cloth and told him that not only would he 
make him a suit but a vest and an extra pair of pants to go with it. 
--  
Stunned the President asked how this Israeli tailor could not only make 
him a suit but a vest and an extra pair of pants when the English and 
French tailors said that there was not enough material. 
-- 
The Israeli tailor looked at President Obama and said, "Mr. President, 
in Israel you are not such a big man"
