Two astronauts land on Mars. Their mission: to check whether there is oxygenon the planet."Give me the box of matches" says one. "Either it burns and there is oxygen,or nothing happens."He takes the box, and is ready to strike a match when out of the blue, aMartian appears waving all his arms..."No, no, don't!"The two guys look at each other, worried. Could there be an unknownexplosive gas on Mars? But he takes another match....And now, a crowd of hysterical Martians is coming, all waving their arms:"No, no, don't do that!""It looks serious. What are they afraid of? But - we're here for Science, toknow if man can breathe on Mars".He strikes a match, which flames up, burns down, and..... nothing happens."Why did you want to prevent us from striking a match?"The leader of the Martians says, "Today is Shabbos!"
