  • The gym teacher's name was Mr. Caruso. Mr. Caruso did
    not speak English. He spoke 'Gym.' One day I was playing
    basketball and Mr. Caruso told me I would have to get
    an athletic supporter. He didn't express himself exactly
    that way, though. He said, 'Hey, you, one day you're gonna
    go up for a rebound and the family jewels aren't gonna
    go with ya.' I had no idea what he was talking about.
    Next day I showed up for practice without my watch and
    my mezuzah. He said, 'Did ya take care of the family jewels?'
    I said, 'I left 'em in my locker.' Took us a half hour to
    revive Mr. Caruso.
