“I think Reuven and Chaim might feel out of place at a U2 concert”
-Since this is a riddle/puzzle thread, lets treat this as a puzzle and try to figure out the circumstances:
1) How can Reuven and Chaim attend the concert? Besides the music itself, can’t there be a problem of “kol isha” with an opening act? (I think U2 itself is all men)
2) Why did they leave themselves so little time to get there?
3) Why is it so important that they get there on time that they are crossing a dark, unsafe bridge to do so?
The answer is clearly as follows:
Reuven and Chaim are electricians, hired to ensure that the sound system and lighting are up to par and safe thruoughout the concert.
They carefully checked beforehand to ensure there were no woman singers or performers before the concert.
They received a heter iska to be present in the building while the concert was being held.
The concert was scheduled to begin motzei Shabbos, shortly after havdala, which is why they were under such time constraints.
Gut Shabbos.
