(If you can’t take a joke, hit the back button now, OK?)

Uhm, this was so weird I just had to share. Maybe the guy I’m talking about will read this and score a helpful tip.

Tonight, on the train home from work, a Jewish man boarded the train. This in itself is not unusual. However, this man had jet black hair, and was sporting a black yarmulke as well (again, not unusual). Problem is, his bald spot was about a half inch larger in diameter than his yarmulke. The 1/4” ring of white skin exposed by the undersized yarmulke stood out in bold relief between hair and head cover. It looked like the flare around the moon during a total solar eclipse. For all intents and purposes, I witnessed a cranial eclipse this evening.

Not a comment on religious mores, mind you. Practice whatever you want. Personally I’m an agnostic who began a slow crawl towards atheism following 9/11/01, but I’m all for religious freedoms. But for crying out loud, if you’re gonna practice, do it in a fashionable manner! Do yourself a favor and scale it up one size, bubbie.
