Better than Birthright

A conversation at the grocery store:

Clerk: Blachdy blach blach blachdy blach.*
Me: I'm sorry, I don't speak Hebrew.
Clerk: Ah, English...Please consider making purchase of excellent store credit card, receive 5% discount off all store brand items! Card is free, excellent discounts!
Me: Do you need an Israeli passport to get the credit card?
Clerk: Ah, yes.
Me: Sorry, I'm an American citizen.
Clerk: Oh...Well, please make Aliyah, and then receive store credit card for all discounts!

This is by far the most convincing argument for making Aliyah that I've ever heard.

*("Blach" is Hebrew for "blah.")
