[[Matt at his office on the phone.]] Matt: Yes, we're working on a story about Rosh Hashana and the start of the High Holy days, and I was wondering if I could attend some of your weekend services. I could? Great! Thank you! Matt: Yes, I would be taking notes. Why? I can't? Why not? Oh, because it falls on the Shabbat, I see... that's OK, I can bring a tape recorder. Matt: What? Nothing battery-powered either? Well... maybe I could... um. Hmm. OK, well... maybe we can work something out once I get there. Thank you again. Bye. [[*The last panel was lost over seas on its way here from Kentucky: the last panel consists of vaguely painted blobs labeled Editor and Matt.]] Matt: Man, the Jews are being difficult this year. Editor: I really didn't hear you just say that.
