update!
roy h. is speaking here tonight. the zionist group is bringing him as an example of an israeli college student. allow me to say, WHAT??
for those of you who don’t know, or vaguely remember, roy h. went to my high skool. i retain only a vague impression that he was hot as he graduated several years ahead of me.
his younger brother, m., however, is an infamous holy terror. m. rode the bus with me and would tell casually about his sexual escapades in the beit midrash. (dude! we had to PRAY in there!) one time he came to one of my brother’s parties at our house and in trying to run from the family room to the patio didn’t realize there was a GLASS DOOR in the way.
he fell on the door, shattering it the way you’ve never seen anything shatter in your life but only dazing himself. his mom came to pick him up soon after. my mom wondered how to break the news to her.
the ensuing conversation went as follows:
my mom: you son had an accident and shattered our glass door.
his mom: oh dear. … i hope you have insurance.
i don’t mean to imply that just cuz m. is a delinquent his brother is. but, uh, the odds are against him.
