I finally figured it out, my boss is a Nepali Jew
You know I am a Hebrew from Russia.
One of the jobs that I do in the evening, I work at Nepali and Indian Restaurants, delivering food. It's a small business. Occasionally my boss forgets to pay me on time. I tease him about it. Today. I had to remind him again. I asked him three times what date was it today. He finally aswered that it was the nineteenth. I asked him if it meant anything special. he smiled. I laughed and replied that he was three days late. So, he walked away. And I started thinking, where else was I forced to inquire about my pay check. And I remembered, it was when I worked for Touro College, a Jewish college in New York City. This is the only Nepali boss I've ever had. So, I have no point of reference with Nepali bosses. So, I got a wild idea. Could my boss belong to one of the ten lost tribes of Israel that got lost in Nepal? So, I came up with four reasons which prove that he could be a Jew. Reason #1, he uses GUILT to motivate his employees. Reason #2, he is a tight wad. Reason #3, he conveniently forgets to pay his employees on time. And the last but not least reason of all, #4 is his wife's maiden name is the same as her married name. They are from the same village of cause and they use letters to distinguish the families because everyone in the vilage has the same last name. So far, I've been teasing my boss by telling him that if he ever decides to move to Israel and will have to prove that he is a Jew, I can testify on his behalf in the Israeli Immigration Court. I think my testimony will get him immigration status without any other questions. :) Although we'll have to work on discouraging of some of his pagan practices like his devotion to this fat, crazy fellow, named Ganesh who used to run around mountains and hills, wearing elephant mask before he got old enough for Hindis to make him into a god. :)
