A man crosses Bedford Ave in Williamsburg, ON SHABBOS, when he sees a pack of money. With a rubber band around it…HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS!
He places his foot on top of it, and stands there. After a few minutes, traffic is building up, and people are honking..YELLING “GET OUT OF THE STREETS”. He points to the money under his foot, and the motorists yell “PICK IT UP”, and he replies” I can’t…It’s SHABBOS!”
Well in about an HOUR the traffic is BACKED UP TO ATLANTIC AVENUE (MILES) and a cop comes up to the man and says “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”.
The man tilts his foot over and shows the policeman the PACK OF MONEY.
The cop says “PICK IT UP”. The man says “I can’t …It’s Shabbos…I can’t”.
The policeman hits the man in his head…. As the man falls over , He scoops up the money, puts it in his pocket, and walks away.
The cops yells “HOW COME YOU PICKED UP THE MONEY?”
The mans calls back “When you hit me, I saw stars”…….
