Talmudic LOL

On a sunny Saturday afternoon in Miami Beach, two old friends met for the first time in years.

After exchange of the usual amenities, as they sat on a beachfront bench, Jacob’s expression grew somber, and he said, “Shmuel, people are telling me you don’t go to shul any more. Can it be true that you no longer believe in G-d?”  Shmuel looked uncomfortable, and hurriedly changed the subject. The next afternoon, the old friends met on the beach again. “You must tell me, Shmuel, ” Jacob said, “Don’t you believe in our G-d anymore?”  Shmuel replied, “Here is a straight answer to a straight question. No, I don’t.” Jacob asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that yesterday?”

Shmuel, deeply shocked exclaimed, “G-d forbid - on Shabbat?”
