Iran’s Attack on Israel

Chaim Yankel was a good man but oy was he stingy. He would bargain and haggle on a price, never paying the price asked. He especially hated paying his medical bills.
One day, while eating fish, a bone became lodged in his throat and within minutes he could scarcely breathe. His wife frantically called Dr. Goldman, who arrived just as Chaim Yankel’s face was turning blue. Dr. Goldman quickly removed the bone with a pair of forceps.
After Chaim Yankel was breathing normally again, although overwhelmed with gratitude to the doctor for saving his life, he began to worry about the medical bills.
Trying his best to keep his costs down, Chaim Yankel turned to Dr. Goldman and asked, "How much do I owe you for this small two-minute job?"
Dr. Goldman, who knew his patient's miserly habit all too well, replied, "Just pay me half of what you would have when the bone was still stuck in your throat!"
