Chabad of East County shared the following joke, “How he got the job” David has done well for himself and is mayor of a small town in Israel. One day, David and his wife Andrea are walking past a construction site. Suddenly, one of the construction workers stops and calls out “What’s new, Andrea?” “Why, it’s nice to see you again Avi,” Andrea replies. She turns to introduce David to the construction worker, and they speak for several minutes. After David and Andrea continue on, he turns to her and asks how she knows Avi. “Oh,” Andrea said. “We went to the same high school. I even thought about marrying him.” David began to say. “You realize how lucky you are. If I hadn’t come along, today you would be the wife of a construction worker!” Andrea replied without hesitation, “Not really. If I had married him, he’d now be a mayor!”
