Which reminds me of a story:
There was a mountain people called the TRIDS who had to forage on the mountain for their sustenance but were always being kicked off the mountain by an evil ogre. In desperation they turned to the local rabbi who had magical powers.
The rabbi listened to their pleas and came up with the solution that if he could get the ogre to kick him off the mountain, God would be displeased and destroy the ogre.
So, the rabbi, went up the mountain and baited, and baited the ogre for days but he would not kick the rabbi. Finally the rabbi yelled, " Evil ogre why will you not kick me off your mountain."
From his lair the ogre rumbled these immortal words:
" SILLY RABBI, KICKS ARE FOR TRIDS !"
Thus endeth the parable.
