Even though Mordechai has been a frummer for over 50 years, one morning, immediately he awakes, he realises he's fed up with all the strict observances to Jewish law. So he turns to his wife and says, "Bracha, darling, Ive had enough of getting up early every morning to put on my tefillin and say the same prayers. Ive made a decision - I've decided to convert to Catholicism."
"Don't be so stupid, Mordechai." says Bracha.
But Mordechai won't be swayed by his wife's arguments. He gets dressed, leaves the house and asks a passer-by for directions to the nearest church. When he gets there, he discusses his intentions with the priest. The following day, he begins taking instruction and on the day after that he's baptized into the Catholic faith.
It's now Thursday morning. Mordechai awakes early as usual and without thinking, puts on his tefillin and starts reciting his morning prayers.
"What are you doing, Mordechai?" asks Esther. "I thought you became a Catholic to avoid ever having to do this again."
"Oy veh," cries Mordechai, smacking himself on the middle of his forehead with the palm of his hand, "goyisher kop!"
(frummer: very religious person)
(goyisher kop!: gentile brains!)
