Here's your hilarious joke:

The Emperor's New Samurai (Please excuse any historical inaccuracies) The Emperor's chief samurai had been recently slain in battle, leaving the Emperor in desperate need of a new chief to lead his men into battle. The Emperor proclaims that any samurai who seeks audience with him will be granted 10 seconds to prove their skill. Over the coming weeks thousands of men, young and old, come to the royal palace in hopes of impressing the mighty emperor. Two months into the casting call, a group of travelers arrive at the gate. One, a young Japanese man, the other an old blacksmith and the third, an elderly Jewish man. The three men enter the throne room. "Present your skill to the emperor," proclaims the Emperor's closest advisor. The young man steps forward first. He reaches into his pocket and withdraws a small cage. He opens the tiny cage door and a fly buzzes out. Before anyone in the room could blink the young man had cut the fly into three pieces. He bows and steps back. The grizzled blacksmith steps forward. He reaches into his pocket and, just like the younger man before him, he pulls out a small cage. Once again, the cage is opened and in a flash the fly is on the Emperor's rug in six pieces! Everyone stands completely still, in awe of this old blacksmith's skills. The emperor waves for his advisor. It was then that the old Jew stepped forward. Without saying a word, he too reaches into his pocket for what is presumably a fly in another tiny cage. Everyone's suspicions are confirmed, as a fly zips out of the open cage. The Jew's blade slices through the air and after three strokes the fly makes its way out of an open window. The room erupts in laughter. The Emperor, again, beckons for his advisor. After lending an ear to his ruler , the advisor asks, "What skill, besides your inability to slice a fly into pieces, was that supposed to demonstrate?" The elderly Jew smiles and says, "I did something much more difficult. That fly is now circumcised."
