Once I was on a trip in Israel with some friends from yeshiva, and we went jeeping.

Well, the people who arranged the trip had told the jeeping company when they booked it that we were looking to have fun–not to go touring and look at old stuff. But, that is what the trip was–driving slowly and looking at old stuff. So we were kind of bored and kind of annoyed and had been up all night on a bus from yerushalayim to tzefat.

The driver was speaking to us in Hebrew even though we were obviously all American, so we assumed he didn’t speak much english. So we were making fun of the driver in English, saying some pretty mean things which are NSFYW (Not Safe For Yeshiva World).

And then we felt kind of stupid and guilty when he started speaking to us in perfect English some time later.

But not too guilty–he was driving like a girl and making out trip as boring as he could.
