Reminds me of a great old joke.
A secular Jewish woman boards a Greyhound bus and sees the only open seat left is next to a man all dressed in black, including the big black hat, with a long beard.
She looks around to make sure there is no other seat, makes a point of displaying her unhappiness and then sits down next to the man.
Finally she can contain herself no longer, and blurts out "I have to tell you, as I am a modern Jew. you disgust me. You live in the past, you dress in the past, you treat women terribly, I just find you Orthodox jews to be such an embarrassment."
The man waits to make sure she is finished, and then calmly replies, "Madam, I am sorry for your misunderstanding, but I am Amish."
The woman is ecstatic, and says "Oh, I am sorry, I LOVE you people, the way you maintain your traditions!"
27. Those are Jerusalem Amish, Old City folk. Not much on barn-raising but great at demolition work. Just call “Joshua and Tribe City Demolition Company and Trumpet Band”.
But what was an Amish doing on a Greyhound. If he’s got to break his tradition, why do it on the most miserable, uncomfortable, dirty means of mass transit available? A horse and buggy might be slow, but horse manure is like perfume by comparison.
#27 they started dancing right after the photo.
