Back in the time of the Samurai there was a powerful emperor who needed a new head Samurai, so he sent out a declaration throughout the country he was searching for one.  A year passed, and only 3 people showed up: a Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai and a Jewish Samurai.

The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head Samurai.  The Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and out popped a bumblebee.  Whoosh! went his sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground in 2 pieces.  The emperor exclaimed:  “That is impressive!”

The emperor then asked the Chinese Samurai to come in and demonstrate his skills.  The Chinese Samurai also opened a match box, and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh, Whoosh! went his sword, and the fly dropped dead on the ground; in 4 small pieces.  The emperor exclaimed: “That is really VERY impressive!”

The emperor then had the Jewish Samurai demonstrate why he should be the head Samurai.  The Jewish Samurai also opened a match box and out flew a gnat. His slashing sword went Whooooosh!  Whooooosh!  But the gnat was still alive and flying around.  The emperor, obviously disappointed, asked: “After all of that, why is the gnat not dead?”

The Jewish Samurai smiled.  “Well,” he replied, “circumcision is not meant to kill.”
