Israel has begun what they are calling "Operation Heartburn."
They are dropping tens of thousands of vacum sealed -fresh and hot - packages containing delicious kosher cornbeef and pastrami sandwiches on rye bread with mustard - to the hungry citizens of the gaza strip. (with kosher pickles)
When Homer Bigler head of The Red Cross in the area praised the Israelis for their largesse - he was told by an israeli Government spokesman for the operation:
"Hey look - these people are starving - and when they gobble up those delicious fatty sandwiches on empty stomachs they are all going to get a severe case of the shits and severe stomach cramps - and they will be extremely thirsty -and they have very little water."
"And - it's very hard to fire a rocket when you are shitting your brains out and are severely dehydrated - so this is not exactly a humanitarian effort on our part." - said the spokesman.
"But - those sandwiches will taste awfully good going down!"
"And -they are nutritious!"
"Want to try one."
