As the tour bus was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, the tour guide explained that the Dead Sea was so salty that nothing could live in the water there. No fish live in the water, no birds live around the edges.
The bus traveled along the shore of the Sea until the tourists suddenly yelled, "Stop the bus!!" They all piled out and raced the the water's edge where an elderly Israeli man was standing with a fishing line trailing in the salty water.
"What are you doing with that fishing line?" the tourists asked. "You can't be catching anything in the Dead Sea?"
"Give me twenty bucks and I'll tell you," the man replied.
A quick collection of small bills was handed to the man as the tourists' curiosity got the better of them.
The grizzled man smiled and told them, "Yours is the fourth bus I've caught today."
Thanks, Jonny Segal,
