JERUSALEM - As the world becomes increasingly jittery over the spread of the swine flu, one Israeli health official is more concerned over the name of the new strain of influenza.

"Swine flu? I don't have to show you any stinkin' swine flu!"

Because of Jewish and Muslim sensitivity to the pig and pork products, Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman told a news conference that the flu should be renamed “Mexican” influenza.

Apparently, Mexicans are less offensive to Jewish and Muslim sensibilities than are pigs, which they consider to be “unclean.”

Obviously, Mr. Litzman has never sampled the tap water in Mexico.
