A Couple of Stupidities

I left my family's seder to head back home to NYC at around 9:25pm last night. I was going for a 9:40pm train at the local train station keeping in mind to mind the gap. The ride normally takes about 5-6 minutes and so we had plenty of time to spare. My father turned on 1010 Wins or perhaps it was WCBS 880 (the two local AM news stations). A woman came on the radio and summarized the weather and mentioned we had a flash flood warning until 9:30pm. I looked at the clock and it said 9:29. I mentioned this to my father. 15 seconds later, a beep went off and the woman mentioned the news time was 9:30pm. My father and I breathed a sigh of relief. We survived the floods.

My mother, as she usually does, sent me home with a bunch of goodies after our meal. One such goody was a box of chocolate covered matzoh. I looked at the back label tonight to see what a serving size was. It stated that a serving size was one half a board. It gave an estimated servings per box of 7. Now this in itself is weird because I was wondering who would pack a box with 3.5 matzoh boards. I opened the box. Two boards.
