THE SYRIAN AIRPLANE

The captain of a Syrian airliner broadcasts in a bind, "This is Syrian Airlines Flight 174
announcing we have lost an engine and wish to land at any airport in the Mideast OTHER than Israel."
No answer.
A short while later he announces, "This is Syrian Airlines Flight 174. We have lost TWO engines and ask permission to land at any airport in the Mideast OTHER than Israel."
No answer from anyone.
A while later the pilot announces, "This is Syrian Airlines Flight 174. We are in desperate need of help. We have lost three engines and need permission to land at any airport in the Mideast OTHER than Israel.
Still no answer.
Finally, the Captain calls, "Mayday, mayday! This is Syrian Airlines Flight 174, we have only one engine left and it is failing. Unless we can land we are going to crash. We need permission to land at ANY airport in the Mideast, INCLUDING Israel.
Immediately a voice is heard in the Syrian cockpit: "This is the Tel Aviv Airport Tower calling Syrian Airlines Flight 174. We would be delighted to help."
"God bless you," said the Syrian pilot, "what should we do sir?"
The Tel Aviv Airport control tower operator says, "Repeat after me: Yisgadal, v'yisgadash ... ."
