You Tell Me

An-Orthodox-Jew-flies-on-board-a-plane-covered-in-a-huge-plastic-bag-1826647

In the photo above, what exactly is going on?

1. It’s a picture of an Orthodox Jew, whose religion prohibits him from flying over cemeteries. The plastic bag creates a barrier between the Jew and the dead. Ultra-orthodox Jews are wary of this makeshift solution, and claim that punching breathing holes in the plastic destroys the sanctity of the barrier.

2. When this man gets home, his wife, to quote Joan Rivers, will announce, “Leftovers again?”

3. It’s a contestant on the popular Israeli game show “What Did You Bring Me?”

4. It’s an opening night gift basket for the cast of Fiddler on the Roof.

5. It’s the only foolproof way to avoid STDs. And rain.

6. It’s an Israeli astronaut.

7. It’s proof that anything can be dry-cleaned.

8. It’s a tropical fish wearing a yarmulke.

9. It’s a freeze-dried Messiah.
