What would have happened if three wise Jewish women had gone to Bethlehem instead of three wise men? They would have: -

• asked directions.
• arrived on time.
• helped deliver the baby.
• hired someone to clean the stable.
• made a brisket.
• and brought practical gifts.

And what would they have said to each other after they left?

• "Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that shmatta?"
• "That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!"
• "Virgin? I knew her in school!"
• "Can you believe they let all of those disgusting animals in there?"
• "I heard that Joseph doesn't have a job."
• "And that donkey they are riding has seen better days!"
• "We'll just see how long it will take to get your brisket dish back.
