Chukas Pocus

Chukas Pocus by Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky


As chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, he could not understand why he should the administration was requesting some $2,000,000,000 towards certain unusual scientific research.
He called Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and began to shout.

'Do you expect me to sanction this tremendous appropriation without any idea as to where it is going!'

Stimson kept quiet. He pondered and hesitated, then he asked, 'Can you keep a secret?' After McKellar assured him that he could, Stimson whispered,

'We are about to split the atom.'
