Jewish Elderly Couple On Vacation Bob and Sheila, and elderly Jewish couple were on their way to the Bahamas on vacation when, while at 36,000 ft they hear a large bang, then the plane loses a couple hundred feet. ""What the hell was that?!"" Sheila asks Bob. ""I dont know, feels like we hit something"", he replies. Then, a minute later, the captain comes on the monitor. ""Attention everyone, I am sure you felt the bump a minute ago. We had an engine failure, causing damage to the wing and are now losing fuel. We are losing the other engine due to fuel loss. We are out of range of any airports to land. Please dont panic. We are going to need you to stay calm and remain seated as we may need your help while we prepare for an emergency water landing. We are going to put the plane down off the shore of a nearby island. To make matters worse, the engine failure caused an electrical problem and our radio and transponder arent working so ATC has no idea where we are. I will come back on shortly before we land. Thankyou for staying calm. We will do our best to get you down safely."" Bob and Sheila looked at each other, concerned and held hands as they prepared for the worst. A few minutes went by, when the captain came back on just feet from the water, announcing for everyone to ""BRACE! BRACE! BRACE!"" A few seconds later, they were in the water. Then, everyone quickly activated emergency doors, slides, etc and exited the plane. Bob and Sheila boarded a life raft with a bunch of others and paddled to shore. When they got there, everyone prepared to make shelter, they all checked cell phones. Most were destroyed from getting wet, and even the ones that worked had no service. They were lost. ""What do we do?"" Sheila asked Bob. ""I dont know, we may be here a long time."" Then a look of absolute concern came over Bob's face. ""Bob, what is it?"" Sheila asked. Bob then asked, ""Sheila, before we left, did you send our payment to Stars of David?"" Sheila - ""No"". Bob - ""How about the Jewish Council for Public Affairs?"" Sheila - ""No"". Bob- ""How about the Friends of Israel Disabled Veterans Association?"" Sheila - ""No"". Bob then smiled, hugged Sheila and gave her a big sloppy kiss. Sheila - ""What was that for?!"" Bob - ""We're saved! There's no way they wont find us!""
