| A pious man who had reached the age of 105 suddenly stopped going to synagogue. Alarmed by the old fellows absence after so many years of faithful attendance the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in excellent health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after all these years we dont see you at services anymore?"The old man looked around and lowered his voice. "Ill tell you, Rabbi," he whispered. "When I got to be 90, I expected God to take me any day. But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105. So I figured that God is very busy and mustve forgotten about me, and I dont want to remind Him!" |
