Sacred Comedy

LAST WEEK AT THE GROCER’S, the guy ahead of me in line is good-naturedly chatting up the sales clerk when he catches sight of my yarmulke.

“What happened to the rest of your hat?” he asks.

Without missing a beat, I reply, “It fell off.”

His “damn! he got me!” gesture punctuates our mutual laughter. I love it when we humans play.
