Wrestling!

The scene: Ben Gurion Airport, gate 55D.

The players: Heather, Ruchi, Lori, Debbie, and one Adam Solomon.

Ladies are discussing where they have gone to college.

Adam: Hey, are you guys from Cleveland?

Debbie: Yeah, we all are.

Ruchi: Where are you from?

Adam: Hi, I'm Adam Solomon. I'm also from Cleveland. I graduated from
Beachwood.

Ruchi: Oh wow! What are the chances?? What have you been doing here in
Israel?

Adam: I've been studying at yeshiva for the past six months. It's been
so awesome!

Ruchi: Wow! May I ask what inspired you to go to Israel to study?

Adam: Actually, it was my wrestling coach!

Ruchi: Your wrestling coach?

Adam: Scott Peters.

(Pause.)

Ruchi: Ok. Guess what? Scott's wife, sister-in-law, and their mom are
all on this flight. They'll be here any minute!

Adam: Are you serious?? I must meet them! I always thought it was so
cool that someone could be a wrestling coach and Jewishly observant at the
same time! Scott probably has no idea how much that impacted me.

Lori: Hey, we're cousins!

Adam: Cousins?

Lori: Yeah... your mom and I are first cousins! We must take a picture!

Heather: Only in Israel.

Curtains.
