You little devil--you may have figured it out ;-) On the other hand, don't
sell these Samaritan guys too short. That HP Shalom, who recently died, was
one heck of a strong man at 81, before cancer attacked him, and had no
trouble
picking up a hundred pound sheep, waving it around, and then pinning it down
for the slaughter at Passover. This is only one of several anecdotes I have
been told about this remarkable man by someone very close to him, several
having
to do with his great stamina. So, being one of the twigs off that family
tree, maybe his ancestors weren't too feeble, either. In another anecdote,
HP
Shalom was in the hospital and by then a widower. The octogenarian jokingly
said to my friend, "There are many blonde Russian nurses here. Do you think
you
can arrange perhaps one of them for my next wife?" There were a couple of
doctors present. So my friend asked them "Do you think HP Shalom is in any
shape
to have fun with a new wife?" They both anwered in unison "Sure!" ;-)
