What will we do without the 'wise' Jewish?

There was once a wise Jewish man. He said that the essence of all wisdom is what you have in your head!
His name was Solomon.

Then came another wise Jewish man. He said that the essence of all is what you have in your heart!!!
His name was Jesus.

Then came a third wise Jewish man. He said that the essence of all is what you have in your stomach !!!
His name was Marx.

After him, came a fourth wise Jewish man. He said that the essence of all is what you have between your legs!!!!
His name was Freud.

Then came another wise Jewish man - wiser than all before – called Einstein.
He said everything is relative!!!!!
