A rabbi, a חזן and a shul president on a trip to South America were captured by bandits, who threatened to kill them. They were each offered one last wish. The rabbi said “I want to give a final two hour sermon on the esoteric meaning of life.” The חזן said “I want to give a two hour concert of operatic tefillah.” The shul president looked pained. “What is your last wish?” he was asked. Without a pause, he answered “Shoot me first.”
