SHIPWRECKED

A hurricane blew across the Caribbean. It didn’t take long for the expensive yacht to be swamped by high waves, sinking without a trace. There were only two survivors: the boat’s owner Dr. Eskin and its steward, Benny, who managed to swim to the closest island.

After reaching the deserted strip of land, the steward was crying and very upset that they would never be found. The other man was quite calm, relaxing against a tree.

"Dr. Eskin, Dr. Eskin, how can you be so calm?" cried the Benny. "We’re going to die on this lonely island. We’ll never be discovered here."

"Sit down and listen to what I have to say, Benny," began the confident Dr. Eskin. "Five years ago I gave $500,000. to the United Jewish Appeal. I donated the same amount four years ago. And, three years ago, since I did very well in the stock market, I contributed $750,000. Last year business was good, so they got a million dollars."

"So what?" shouted Benny.
