	Gordon Brown goes on a state visit to Israel . While he is on a tour of Jerusalem he suffers a heart attack and dies. The undertaker tells the British Ambassador, 'You can have him shipped home for £5,000,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land , for just £1000 on the Mount of Olives.' The British diplomats go into a corner and discuss for a minute. They come back to the undertaker and tell him they want Gordon's corpse shipped home. The undertaker is puzzled and asks, 'Why would you spend £5,000,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only £1000? With the money you save you could help pay back some of the deficit, help pay for the Olympic Games or help the elderly'. " Sorry, says the Ambassador , 'Long ago a man died and was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk.
