A pious man who had reached the age of 105 suddenly stopped going to synagogue Alarmed by the old fellow s absence after so many years of faithful attendance the Rabbi went to see him He found him in excellent health so the Rabbi asked How come after all these years we don t see you at services anymore? The old man lowered his voice I ll tell you Rabbi he whispered When I got to be 90 I expected God to take me any day But then I got to be 95 then 100 then 105 So I figured that God is very busy and must ve forgotten about me and I don t want to remind Him
