Don't Be Scared Now

When the Jewish year 5766 began, I commented that ה'תשס"ו isn't a year, it's the sound you make when you sneeze.

Now that it's the Gregorian year 2006, I feel the need to point out that it too is not a year. Especially if we were to write it Hebrew-style, in gematriya. ב'"ו is the sound you make when you're trying to scare someone. Like the drunk crazy people on the subway last night, for instance.

I wasn't trying to scare drunk crazy people, by saying "boo" or in any other manner; drunk crazy people on the subway, on the other hand, and commonly quite scary in and of themselves...
