This story took place during a car ride with my friend Dave. We were having a conversation regarding a camping trip we had taken with Dave's father and another friend of ours. During this trip I had asked our friend Bret if there was any truth to a claim I had heard on the radio. I had heard that Jewish babies are circumcised by having the rabbi bite off their foreskin off. He than has to suck the blood off in order to get them cleaned up. Bret looked like a deer caught in the headlights and couldn't even answer my question. The rest of the night I was made fun of for believing something so dumb. Now Dave and I were in the car talking about that conversation.
Dave looked at me and said "I can't believe you asked Bret that question that night. How could you have believed something like that actually happens". Dave studied the look on my face. "Oh my God" he said "You still think it's true don't you?". "Well" I said "there were a few callers that said there was some truth to the claim". "Dude" Dave said "there is no way something like that would happen". "But some people did say that this actually occurs" I said. "Chris" Dave said "Bret is Jewish, I think he'd know if something like that actually happens". "Yea" I said "But maybe there are different practices of Jewish culture. Like Catholics and Protestants, both are considered to be Christian, yet they differ in beliefs." "Even if that were the case, something like that wouldn't even be legal" Dave argued. "Well it happens anyway" I said. "NO IT DOESN'T!" Dave said, now getting frustrated "No person in their right mind would believe that this is true". "Than I guess there are some screwed up people out there, cause they say it's true" I said. "That does it" said Dave "Get your phone out and call your roommate. I want you to ask him about it and see what he says. He is gonna laugh in your face". "OK I will" I said as I took out my phone and dialed. Dave waited eagerly to see me eat my words. "Hey man" I said as my friend picked up "I got a question for you. Isn't it true that Jewish babies are circumcised by having the rabbi bite off their foreskin? It is? I thoughts so. Thanks. Talk to you later". Dave's face had dropped into his hand, he hates losing arguments. I put my phone away and looked at Dave with a smile on my face. "Well" I said "What do you have to say now?" This story will be concluded in the next post.
