I don't know why, but this memoir cracks me up!enginethatcould says,
Glad! Can't tell you how often I hear that I don't "look Jewish" (only from non-Jews of course) and I'm always tempted to retort with this phrase. So far I've held my tongue. (except for this memoir, of course!)TheProsperousArtist says,
I hope they're all listening!TheProsperousArtist says,
Is that a matzoh in your profile pic? :-)enginethatcould says,
LOL @ matzoh! It's a smart rat in a maze (he chewed right through the walls to get straight to the cheese. =)TheProsperousArtist says,
Oh, I love that! I couldn't make it out, because it's kind of small. So I'm glad I made a joke and got to learn the truth.(And it's still about food. :-)
