A Jersey Man Walks into a Bathroom

image

The Setting:

Entrance to a men’s room in New York Penn Station.

On the right – an apparently homeless man digging in the bathroom garbage, shoulder-deep.

On the left – Sam Snyder, not obviously homeless.

In the middle – a second possibly homeless guys.

On observation, none if the actors know each other.

Middle guy, tapping the homeless guy on the arm: “Do you know that Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins?”

Homeless guy, now only elbow-deep in trash and obviously annoyed at being interrupted: “What?!”

Middle guy, now hesitantly: “Do you know that Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins?”

Homeless guy, definitely annoyed: *incoherent mumbling with vigorous head wagging*

Sam Snyder, pondering: Why did middle guy pick that other man to say that to and not me?

If You Can’t Menachem

(What is not funny is that the guy on the TV is a real tool (Menachem Tewel), a rabbi who is a child sex-abuser. May he rot in Heck. (That’s Hebrew for Hell.) News story here: CBS New York)
