A Rabbi shocked his community when he announced that he was resigning from and moving to a drier climate. Afterwards, a very distraught lady came to the Rabbi with tears in her eyes, "Oh, Rabbi, we are going to miss you so much. We don't want you to leave!"

"Yeah," she replied, with a tone of disappointment in her voice, "that's what the last Rabbi said, too."
