The time between Rosh Hashanah and the end of Yom Kippur. As a fan of Roger, hopefully you looked up what he meant by "the High Holy Days." Mark, being Jewish, probably observes the ten days between the Jewish New Year--Rosh Hashanah--and the Day of Atonement--Yom Kippur. If I tricked you with "the time between Yom Kippur and the end of Rosh Hashanah," then think about how long that time would be--355 days!

This. "First shot Roger, tuning the Fender guitar he hasn't played in a year!"
"This won't tune!"
"So we hear. He's just coming back from half a year of withdrawal."
"Are you talking to me?"
"Not at all!"
