O.K.  I've put off submitting this story to the net for some time, but
after seeing the "Who did God like better--Abraham or Moses?" story, this
(almost) seems appropriate.

Most of you are probably familiar with the story of the student who asked
the rabbi to tell him all the learning there was while standing on one foot.
The rabbi responded with some variant of the golden rule, and told him
"The rest is just commentary.  Now go study.", while standing on one foot.

In the alternate version proposed by myself along with a friend of mine, the
student asks the rabbi to tell him all the learning there was while standing
on one foot.  The rabbi then stands on the student's foot and says:  "Hmm, now
where shall I begin..."

[So, it wasn't appropriate...]
