    Once upon a time there were two brothers, Jim and Tom Cohen. Jim loved to eat ice cream, but Tom preferred to work out at the YMCA, and chided his brother for his poor eating habits. The brothers grew up, and Jim decided to get a job as an ice cream truck driver. Tom wasn't quite sure what to do with his life, so he took a trip to Nepal to broaden his horizons. While in Nepal, he became enamored with Buddhism, and found his calling as a Zen monk. Later on in their lives, the brothers moved back in with their mother, who was suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's. Jim still drove his ice-cream truck, and Tom set up a yoga studio. One day the brothers' mother got a call on the phone; the caller asked for Mr. Cohen. But she didn't know which one of her sons the man was asking for! So, she asked the caller: "Which Mr. Cohen do you want? The ice cream Cohen, or the Zen Cohen?" ***groan*** :P

                Cohen in Hebrew means Priest/Preacher. Hence the Ice Cream Preacher or the Zen Preacher (which contradicts with him being Jewish and called Cohen but preaches Zen) It is getting lost in translation
