MARTIAN STORY
Two astronauts landed on Mars.  Their mission: to check whether there is oxygen on the planet.
"Give me the box of matches" - said one. "Either it burns and there is oxygen, or nothing happens."
He took the box and was ready to strike a match when out of the blue a Martian appeared waving all his arms:
 "No, no, don't!" 
The two guys looked at each other, worried. Could there be an unknown explosive gas on Mars? Still, the first one took up again the match. Now a crowd of hysterical Martians came, all waving their arms:
"No, no, don't do that!" 
"It looks serious. What are they afraid of? But we're here for Science, to know if man can breathe on Mars".
He stroke the match, which flamed up, burned down, and..... nothing happened.
"Why did you want to prevent us from striking a match?"
The leader of the Martians said:
"It is Shabbos today!"
