... ist zwar schon vorbei, aber dennoch möchte ich
euch diese schöne feirtägliche Begebenheit nicht
vorenthalten:

--------------------------------------------
Murray, a deeply religious old man, went to temple
on
Rosh Hashanah and forgot his Tallis, so he
borrowed one from "the rack" at the temple.

At the end of the service, he realized that he
really liked this Tallis (so much that he actually
decided to stuff it down the front of his trousers
and take it home).
After the service when he was walking thru the
reception line, the Rabbi stopped him and
whispered, "Murray, I am sorry, but I saw you
stuff a Tallis down your pants. Why would you do
this? "

Murray, totally embarrassed and ashamed, explained
the situation, whereupon the Rabbi suggested he
remove it from his trousers and give it back.
By now, the Tallis had managed to slide half-way
down his leg. While Murray was bent over pulling
the tallis out of his pant leg, the old man
slipped and accidentally let out a loud fart.

The Rabbi, exasperated, said, "Murray!... You took
the Shoffar, too?!?"
