Yesterday, I was walking to my domicile from the Presdient Street 2 station. As I was walking between New York and Brooklyn, I noticed that the sidewalk had been shoveled in front of every single house on my side of the street, with one exception: the vacant house on the block. The snow had been shoveled off the porch and the part of the front walk nearer the house. But the rest of the walk and the sidewalk in front of the house was covered in ice.
Who spent his or her time shoveling the porch, but couldn't be bothered to shovel the sidewalk?

The spirit of the house, who likes to go out and sit on the porch smoking its pipe, but never goes as far as the street.

ReplyDelete40 years from now you'll be sitting at the base of some misty mountain wearing an orange cloak and muttering calculus to yourself.
ReplyDeleteOr yelling at a class of university students.
Or sitting bearded at a table full of grandchildren.
Or all three.
ReplyDeleteOr be a house spirit who shovels his porch so he can sit and watch bochurim slip on the ice he didn't shovel off the sidewalk.
Update: I walked past the house again last night, and it appeared to have been shoveled.
ReplyDeleteSomebody read your blog! Don't let anyone say from now on that blogs are useless.
ReplyDeleteDo you guy get which house E's talking about?
ReplyDeleteIt's a reference to a Beatles song, Across the Universe.
ReplyDeleteOne would think but mr. e doesn't listen to Beatles.
ReplyDeleteTake a guess who copied his Beatles collection onto my ipod.
ReplyDeleteOne local shliach's favorite starting song for hakafos is "We all live in a yellow submarine" (that's the same shliach who makes kiddush rabbah only on mashkeh).
ReplyDeletethen theres that holocaust song to the tune of simon and garfunkel's "sound of silence'. apparently sixties music isnt non jewish....
ReplyDeleteWell both Simon and his Garfunkel were yids so perhaps that makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a debate on non-Jewish msuic will now ensue...
Did we re-evaluate that status of the structure's occupancy?
ReplyDeletesarabonne: apparently it didn't.
ReplyDeleteawm: I don't know if people understood. I was talking about the Rebbe's house.
