R' Chaim wearing pants (I assume) - similar to the ones I bought (I'm sure) |
Be that as it may, I am about to make a huge sacrifice.. Yes, ladies and gentleman I am giving up the love of my life. A constant companion that I was very close to and will miss dearly. But I have been told that there is a great need out there. So I am going to do this for my people.
I hereby announce that in honor of the holiday of Purim, I am going to auction off a pair of slightly torn pants that I purchased used from the late Rav Cham Kanievsky. I bought his holey pants over 30 years ago and have been wearing them daily ever since. Although my pants and I have always been very close over these many years, I am doing this for my people. They will be hard to part with and I will miss them dearly. But duty calls. Some things are just bigger than you and me.
Speaking of pants - I have never been clear on whether pants is singular or plural. And why are pants referred to as a ‘pair’? There is only one item there?
And another thing. Speaking of the late Rav Cham - why are people that died always called late? Late? Rav Chaim’s not late! He’s not coming!
But I digress.
These pants have been authenticated by the always late -‘Big’ Gedalyahu Goomber who identifies himself as a grandson of, and former aide to, R’ Chaim.
Bidding starts at $3200. .
Anyone?
