It's Throwback Thursday again so we're going back to a classic episode of All in the Family in which Archie Bunker asks Mr. Levy, his repairman, to finish a job that he started.
But it's late Friday afternoon and Levy tells Archie that he'll have to do the job on Monday because it's getting dark and he has to be in his synagogue before sunset at 6:12 pm.
There are a few great lines in their conversation about religion, money, and rabbinic dispensation. But the clincher is the way Levy ends the exchange by getting even with Archie by using a classic Yiddish curse. It's not translated in the video clip, but it means "You should live in a house with a thousand rooms and you should have a stomach ache in each room!"
Enjoy!
