In the heart of darkest Africa there lived a primitive and
very obscure tribe called the Trids. This tribe was of interest
to a certain anthropologist, who also happened to be a Rabbi.
So the Rabbi travelled to the land of the Trids to live with
them and to study their social customs.
One of the Trids' oddest custom was the ritual performed every
evening, wherein the whole tribe would line up single-file and
walk past the Chief, who would then kick each one. For some
strange reason the Trids seemed to enjoy this activity.
This piqued the interest of the Rabbi, who wondered what could
be so enjoyable about a kick in the shins, so he boldly got in
line to be kicked.
After a time he got to the head of the line and prepared to
receive his kick, but the Chief merely looked at him, smiled,
and said,
"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!".
