El Al security: “Did anyone give you anything to take with you to Israel?”
Me: "Like, everybody".😏
Security: "You know why I am asking you these questions?"
Me: "Yeah - because you are BORED out of your mind".
Security: "Do you speak Hebrew?"
Me: "Only when I forget my Latin".
Security: "Are you carrying anything sharp?"
Me: "Heck yeah - my tongue can be quite sharp at times. You know Tanach at all?
חֵץ [שָׁחוּט] לְשׁוֹנָם מִרְמָה דִבֵּר בְּפִיו שָׁלוֹם אֶת רֵעֵהוּ יְדַבֵּר וּבְקִרְבּוֹ יָשִׂים אָרְבּוֹ.
יֵשׁ בּוֹטֶה כְּמַדְקְרוֹת חָרֶב.
Plus I have a copy of Rebbe Aba Berman's שיעורי עיון התלמוד. He was VERY sharp. RAZOR sharp. No relation to the former baseball player Razor Shines."
Security: "I am sorry sir. You are going to have to come with me...." 😓
Missed my flight. Didn't enjoy the police interrogation.
Lesson: Don't be a wise guy....
