“Well, I was very busy staring at someone across the street when I suddenly walked straight into a pole”
A few years ago we were driving by the Bobov shul in Toronto about 10:30 on a Saturday evening. The place was emptying out at the time. I saw a young bochur walking and reading a book at the same time (and his fur hat was a little big on him so it was halfway down his forehead) – he missed a telephone pole by about an inch and he was just about to step out into traffic when I opened the window and hollered at him to pay attention where he was going – he was on an extremely busy street.
