3000 + words And?

Good afternoon, consumers of Stroock's Books. We write boredly from the Donut, where we are the only customer. No radio playing, thank the Many Faced god, and the staff seems relaxed and chipper during the afternoon lull. 

What the fuck is wrong with these people?: "Students of a Satmar elementary school marched in Jerusalem in shirts with the slogan: 'Enlistment or the gallows? Our answer is the gallows,' while carrying miniature gallows complete with a noose." The Hasidic/Haredi, no matter the sect, can be a piece of work, can't they?
