Operation of Faith
About two weeks ago, as luck would have it, Rupert Beauregard, son of Brother Randolph Beauregard, pastor of the Holy Uplifted Hands Southern Baptist Church, in my hometown of Stamford, Connecticut and Baruch Silver, son of Rabbi Irving Silver, of the Mount Sinai in the Land of Goshen Ultra Reformed Synagogue in my hometown of Stamford, Connecticut, were lying side by side on operating tables at the Ten Commandments Jewish War Veterans Hospital in Stamford [of course].
So, Rupert asks, "What are you in here for?
Baruch replies, "getting my tonsils out, I'm a little nervous.”
"You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was 4. They put you to sleep; when you wake up they give you Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze."
Baruch asks, "What are you here for?"
"Circumcision."
“Whoa! good luck buddy. I had that done when I was born ……
… couldn't walk for a year!"
