A Catholic chauffeur was bragging to his friend how well
the Jewish family who employed him treated him. "You
wouldn't believe it," he said. "I get tips galore, and they
always buy me lunch or dinner when I drive. My salary is
great, with benefits! I get off all holidays, including the
Jewish ones, like Rosh Hashanah."
"That sounds pretty good," said the friend. "But what's
Rosh Hashanah?"
"Oh, that's when they blow the shofar**."
"Wow!" said the amazed friend. "Those are SOME benefits!"
(** For Degsy and Black Mirror - The Shofar, a ram's horn, used as a wind instrument.
The sounding of the Shofar is an ancient rite in the Rosh
Hashanah observances for Jewish people. ;) ;) )
