THIS WAS A PURIM SHPIEL, folks. Even I could see that. But the not so funny joke, is that there was a letter to a shadchan about a very nice boy who walked in wearing (GASP!) colorful socks, and the mother nixed the shidduch (if memory serves). When such external NAARISHKEIT (YES, I SAID NAARISHKEIT!) determines a person’s worthiness as a shidduch, or without even knowing him defines that person’s character, I say the boy dodged the shivigger bullet. And I feel sorry for the daughter. Hope she is not still sitting home, waiting for the perfect shidduch for her mother.
