You know that game Six Degrees of Separation that has something to do with Kevin Bacon? Well, I'm totally convinced that in the Jewish community (world-wide) we as a people are separated by One Degree.
I got in touch with a former classmate, Ms. T., whom I haven't seen in 34 years. Yes, 34. Stop doing the math. Yes, 34. Stop asking. I'm positive 34.
Anyways, (as we say on East 14th Street) Ms. T. e-mails me the pictures of her son's Bar-Mitzvah. How old? 13. That's why it's called a BAR-MITZVAH!! So, as all good employees do, I "open" the pictures at work wasting as much time as humanly possible. As I'm looking at them, one of the gentlemen who rents space at the office where I work, comes in my office (if you can call it that) to fax something to his brother. Big deal? Right? Like faxing is such a novelty. I'm telling him I haven't seen my friend in 34 years and he's totally ignoring me as any typical man would until I say: "hey, this man looks just like you". He takes a look at the photo and says: "Yeah, that's my brother!!!" His brother was the officiating rabbi at the Bar-Mitzvah!!!!
Kevin Bacon eat your heart out!!!
