One day at Infants" school, the teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, "I’ll give 50p to
the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."
An Irish lad put his hand up and said, "It was Saint Patrick."
The teacher said, "Sorry Sean, that’s not correct."
Then a Scottish boy put up his hand and said, "It was Saint Andrew."
The teacher replied, "I’m sorry, Hamish, that’s not right either."
Finally, a little Jewish girl raised her hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."
The teacher said, "That’s absolutely right, Esther, come up here and I’ll give you your 50p."
As the teacher was giving Esther her money, she said, "You know Esther, you
being Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Esther replied, "I know - in my heart it is Moses, but business is business."
