Funniest Story Ever. It involves Judaism, and we all know that Judaism is funny. Just ask Mel Brooks.
Anyway here goes. Here at Emmanuel College in the University of Queenlsand, I live next to this girl Christie Panasevich. She goes to Syracuse University, which is sometimes abbreviated as "`Cuse."
Now she grew up in upstate New York, surrounded by "cows and Catholics" (her words). The first time she saw Jewish people was when she went to college. She saw a bunch of her guy friends all dressed up in suits and asked, "Hey, where are you guys going?"
"We're going to temple."
"Oh wow, Temple? We're having a basketball game? Go `Cuse!" I think she ran off before they had a chance to explain.
So she goes to her dorm, and sees a bunch of her female friends also all dressed up. So she excitedly says:
"Hey are you guys going to Temple too?"
"Yeah..."
"Awesome! Go `Cuse!"
By her own admittance, she "talks before she thinks."
Then one of her Jewish friends pulled her aside and explained to her temple, yarmulkes, etc. Turns out it was a high holy day (she didn't say which one).
Go Jews!
