Saturdays are a very relaxing day for my family because it’s the Sabbath. The day is usually spent at my in-laws doing Torah study. Yesterday however, due to them have a mild cold, we stayed at our house and did our own study.
After that we took the kids to the park for a little while. The boys and I rode our bikes around the neighborhood and had some races. Good family time.
As we were riding back to our house a beat-down, blue pick-up truck with two men inside approached us. The conversation went a little like this:
Driver: Hey! You like eating good steaks?
Me: Yea, of course.
Driver: Take a look at what I got in the back (There was a large freezer in the bed of the truck)
Me: Oh sorry man. I don’t do any business on Saturdays…we’re Jewish.
Driver: (long pause) How do you buy stuff??
Me: (Annoyed face) There’s six other days in the week to buy stuff…
Driver: I’ve got Jewish friends that buy stuff on Saturday.
Me: Well….we don’t sorry, bye!
They continued driving around going door-to-door trying to sell meat off the back of their truck.
A) I would never buy anything from a guy wearing a wife beater, driving a pick-up truck, selling meat in a freezer.
B) We’ve had that same question so many times: How do you buy stuff? What if you need to eat, buy gas, etc.
Well folks, like I told the guy waiting to be on an episode of Cops, there’s six other days to buy stuff. As for eating, well gee – we eat what we have in the house – duh. Buying gas – c’mon, I can fill up Friday. Think this through.
I guess ignorance can be bliss, oy vey.
