An old woman was sitting in a park in Moscow reading a "Teach
Yourself Hebrew" book.  A policeman notices her and decides to
start to give her a hard time.

"What are you reading that for?" he shouts at her.

She replies,  "I am old, and I will die soon.  I want to be
prepared; so I am studying the language of heaven."

The cop says, "Well, how do know that it's heaven that you are going
to?"

The old women answers, "Well, honestly I don't, but that's okay.  I
already speak Russian."
