An old woman was sitting in a park in Moscow reading a Teach
Yourself Hebrew book. A policeman notices her and decides to
start to give her a hard time.

What are you reading that for? he shouts at her.

She replies, I am old, and I will die soon. I want to be
prepared; so I am studying the language of heaven.

The cop says, Well, how do know that its heaven that you are going
to?

The old women answers, Well, honestly I dont, but thats okay. I
already speak Russian.
