On last Sunday, day of the joyous and colorful Purim holiday, there were heavy rains , so the annual traditional Purim Youth Parade was postponed until Friday ( March 5). On Friday the weather was rather hot , but the parade... paraded nevertheless. After the procession came to an end, all the participating youth groups and the general public gathered around three main stages placed on the avenue where the municipality building of our town is located, to watch a variety of outdoor dance, music, and circus shows.
Here's a short slideshow I've created with some snaps taken at the Purim Parade (Adloiada - עדלוידע). Open up the speakers, please!
On The Fishing Boat
"The most wasted of all days is the one during which you did not laugh".
[" One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat, he pulls up alongside the woman and says:
- Good Morning Ma'am, what are you doing?
- Reading a book, she replies (thinking... isn't that obvious?)
-You're in a Restricted Fishing Area, he informs her.
- I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading.
- Yes, but you have all the Equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.
- For reading a book?
- You're in a Restricted Fishing Area , he informs her again.
- I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.
- Yes, but you have all the Equipment. Again, for all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.
- If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault, says the woman.
- But I haven't even touched you, says the Game Warden
- That's true, but you have all the Equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.
- Have a nice day Ma'am, and he left"].
Moral:
"Never argue with a woman who reads. She can also think."
