These four rabbis had a series of theological arguments and three were always in accord against the fourth One day the odd rabbi out after the usual 3 to 1 majority rules statement that signified that he had lost again decided to appeal to a higher authority Oh God he cried I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong Please give me a sign to prove it to them It was a beautiful sunny day As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four It rumbled once and dissolved A sign from God See I m right I knew it But the other three disagreed pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days So the rabbi prayed again Oh God I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong So please God a bigger sign This time four storm clouds appeared rushed toward each other to form one big cloud and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill I told you I was right cried the rabbi but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a *very big* sign but just as he said Oh God the sky turned pitch black the earth shook and a deep booming voice intoned HEEEEEEEE S RIIIIIIIGHT The rabbi put his hands on his hips turned to the other three and said Well? So shrugged one of the other rabbis now it s 3 to 2
