Oh, those crazy Jews!

A Galacian Jew was travelling in a train. He had made himself really comfortable, had unbuttoned his coat and put his feet up on the seat. Just then a gentleman in modern dress entered the compartment. The Jew promptly pulled himself together and took up a proper pose. The stranger fingered through a notebook, made some calculations, reflected for a moment and suddenly asked the Jew: "Excuse me, when is Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)?"
"Oho!" said the Jew, and put his feet up on the seat again before answering.
