Brilliant Simplicity

Last week the country was all a-buzz over the disappearance of Boaz Yonah Ceo of The Heftzibah Group.

Mid-stream construction on numerous housing projects, Yonah, who was borrowing money against borrowed money, jumped ship leaving investors and average “just wanted to buy a piece of property to pass along to the kids” Israelis with their mouths hanging open and empty pockets turned inside out.

The hunt began for Yonah the fugitive and police caught up with him last week in Milan Airport. Using a very simple, very clever trick, they nabbed him in transit.

The policeman called out “Yonah!” and he, instinctively, turned around. That sealed the identification.

That reminded me of the old Brady Bunch episode where Mrs. Brady (I think) was in court for some traffic accident in which the other guy was claiming damages like whiplash. Mr. Brady threw down his briefcase creating a sudden loud noise to which the guy with “whiplash” turned around instinctively, showing his true health situation. Needless to say that was the end of the court case.

Sorry, but the story reminded me of the Brady Bunch episode and I could not resist posting it…

Of course. We all respond to our names, don’t we? Thanks, Life in Israel, for the parallel.
