Shamus, n. [Yiddish]:
A shamus is a guy who takes care of handyman tasks around the
temple, and makes sure everything is in working order.
A shamus is at the bottom of the pecking order of synagogue
functionaries, and there's a joke about that:
A rabbi, to show his humility before God, cries out in the
middle of a service, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The cantor, not to be
bested, also cries out, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!"
The shamus, deeply moved, follows suit and cries, "Oh, Lord, I
am nobody!" The rabbi turns to the cantor and says, "Look who thinks
he's nobody!"
-- Arthur Naiman, "Every Goy's Guide to Yiddish"

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most

exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.
-- George Bernard Shaw
Egotism is the anesthetic given by a kindly nature to relieve the pain
