There was a Rabbi whose wife was expecting a baby.
 
 The Rabbi went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After
 much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when 
 the Rabbi's family expanded, so would his paycheck.
 
 After five or six children, this started to get expensive, so the
 congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the
 Rabbi's pay situation. You can imagine there was much yelling and
 bickering.
 
 Finally, the Rabbi got up and spoke to the crowd - "Having
 children is an act of God!"
 
 In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood
 up and in his frail voice said, "Point of Information - Snow and
 rain are also 'acts of God', but when we get too much we wear
 rubbers!"
