"If you want to live forever," Fischel Farkes told his very rich cousin living in Haifa, "come to live in our little kibbutz."

"Is it that beautiful?"

"Beautiful? It's the ugliest town you ever saw in your whole life!"

"Well. is the climate that good?" asked the cousin.

"The climate is, without a doubt, absolutely terrible. Maybe the worst in Israel!"

"Then why in God's name do you urge me to live there?", The cousin spluttered.

Look at the statistics!" exclaimed Farkes. "Not once has a rich man died here."
