I am a bad stereotype
Jan. 9th, 2008 07:40 amEvery other night, Jonathan and I sit down to discuss, decide, and implement said wedding action.
Last night was Yarmulke/Kipot Action '08.
(At a Jewish wedding all males have to wear a yarmulke/kipot, no matter your denomination. Since many males attending neither own nor will realize they need to get a yarmulke/kipot to wear, it is custom for party givers to provide a giant basket of yarmulkes/kipot for the males to wear. Afterwards, whatever is left, gets donated to the local temple for temple goers who forget, have lost, don't own on to use while in said temple.)
J: Jonathan
C: me
C: oooh, look, these guys are only $1.35 each AND include free personal stitching.
J: Those are nice.
C: oh, wait, they require a 6 dozen minimum order. I don't think we are having that many males at the wedding.
(Quickly tallies males from guest list)
C: Yeah, IF every male shows up, that's only 40.
(Goes to other site)
C: Oh these are really nice, only $1.95 each with no minimum order.
J: Let's go for those.
C: (Clicks on forward link. Discovers lot of same yarmulkes/kipots.) WOA! 40 kipot for only $17!
J: (Reads and re-reads description, everything looks financially kosher.) Get those!
C: Yeah! We are a bad Jewish stereotype.
So this morning, I placed an order for 40 yarmulke/kipot at a cost of $17.
They are really cool, besides being uber cheap. They are vegan, an eco-suede, so they feel like suede but are made of recycled cardboard. I think this is the most excited I have been over a wedding purchase since I learned you can turn pound cake into a cupcake.
