Yeshiva Crew Team
Yeshiva University decided to field a crew team. Unfortunately,
they lost race after race. They practiced for hours every day,
but never managed to come in any better than dead last.
The chief rabbi finally decided to send Yankel to spy on
the Harvard team. So Yankel shlepped off to Cambridge and hid in
the bullrushes off the Charles River, from where he carefully
watched the Harvard team as they practiced.
Yankel finally returned to Yeshiva. "I have figured out their
secret," he announced. "They have eight guys rowing and only one
guy shouting."
