Gordon Brown goes on a state visit to Israel . While he is on a tour of
Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and passes away. The undertaker tells
the British Diplomats accompanying him, 'You can have him shipped home for
£5m or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land , for just £100.'

The British Diplomats go into a corner and discuss for a minute. They come
back to the undertaker and tell him they want Gordon shipped home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks, 'Why would you spend £5m to ship
him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend
only £100? With the money you save you could help pay back some of the
deficit, help pay for the Olympic Games or help the elderly'.

The British Diplomats replied, 'Long ago a man died here, was buried here,
and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk.'
