I have known this for many years and think that whoever thought of it was a genius
I can see references to it on Google but nobody gives the details. So I will try my best.
Start with a piece of A3 paper (Aprox).
Go to http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2279636940028520097XqRWae
Fold the paper the way I have shown in the 4 pictures.
Left top corner across then right top corner across followed by a vertical fold up the middle.
Tell the following tale. If you need help assembling the Jews pieces just ask.

A very poor but very good man is visited by an angel of the Lord.
He tells the poor man that he cannot help him in this life but gives him a passport to heaven.
A very rich Jew hears about this passport & offers a million pounds for the passport.
The poor man says no but he can have 2 thirds of the passport for a million pounds.
He cuts the passport into 3 equal width strips & gives the Jew the shorter 2 strips.
The jew takes his 2 thirds home and finds it assembles into a word.
He goes back to the Christian and says they have ruined it but when the christian opens
the Right Hand part & finds it will still work for him.
I hope my typed version works OK.

I had hoped that someone here was intelligent enough to try it out?

It worked for me.  Wasn't very funny, but it'll be fun to show the kids.

Where there a load of pop-ups? FireFox doesn't let pop-ups through.

Quite.  I didn't see any pop-ups and, as I wrote before, the 
instructions worked for me.

Thanks for the info. I am thinking that Webshots is putting pop-ups into my site that I cannot see.
I will investigate.

It does add pop-ups when I am not logged on. Sorry.
I will think of a better photo site.
I have added a page showing the letters formed from the Jews 2/3 of the passport.

I tried this earlier Got a cross thing but the other two thirds just 
fell to bits assumed there was something to be written on it to form a 
word didn't realise the pieces should be used to form a word.  Maybe 
something in the instructions alluding to the fact that the paper is 
blank and the pieces of the Jew's two thirds can be used to form a word.
