A journalis in Jerusalem see an old man praying vigorously at the Western Wall   
        Wailing Wall

A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau takes an apartment
overlooking the Western (Wailing) Wall. Every day when he looks out, he
sees this old Jewish man praying vigorously.  So the journalist goes
down to the wall, and introduces himself to the old man. He asks, "You
come every day to the wall.  How long have you done that and what are you
praying for?"

The old Jewish man replies, "I have come here to pray every day for 25
years. In the morning I pray for world peace and then for the brotherhood
of man. I go home have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the
eradication of illness and disease from the earth."

The amazed journalist finally asks, "How does it make you feel to come
here every day for 25 years and pray for these things?"

The old man replies calmly, "Like I'm talking to a wall."
