יומא-טז

An old עם הארץ asked his friend what the קהל does during כורעים on יום כיפור. His friend replied that even though it’s top secret, he’ll reveal it to him. “On ערב יום כיפור,” he said, “they hide muffins in their טלית bags and the next day, during כורעים, they eat them.” The old man was pleased that this great secret was revealed to him. On יום כיפור, he did כורעים with the rest of the קהל, but remained crouched on the floor after everyone else got up. Concerned, people asked him if he was alright. “I’m fine,” he said. “But I only have a few teeth in my mouth, so it takes me longer to eat than it takes you.”
