Honestly, I think [profile] reporteraliza said it more amusingly than I would.

To wit:

"On the 25th of February, at 8pm, Aliza and Ari used their exegetical skills to interpret the verse that says "thus may a man leave his parents and cleave to his wife and become of one flesh".
Ari interpreted this as "thus may Ari buy Aliza flowers and want to propose in the airport, but be held back by the Maimo students yelling "Ms. Libman! Ms. Libman" who were at the gate, waiting to meet family members, and they shall drive home from the airport and get stuck on the ice and need to push the car off."
Aliza interpreted this verse as "thus shall Aliza wear a sparkly ring and call everyone she knows and drink sparkling wine with roomies Ariel and Rebecca, who decorated her door."
No one actually used a cleaver, because that would be messy.
And the results of their exegesis was that a date shall be set, and the proclamation shall go forth in the city of Cambridge, and they sat down to eat gnocchi, and the city of Brookline was confounded."

In short, am engaged now. Will discuss the hermeneutics inherent in the paragraph above if anyone really wants me to. But now? Am tired and will sleep..
