Delicious Ham for Chanukah

If were cool like the New Yorker I could offer you a framed cover in in order to come up with a good caption, instead I offer you attention from other commenters.

    1. “A happy Chanukah to you, too,” I would say to the pig.”Please don’t be offended if I don’t shake hands.”

  1. Sacrilegious! Speaking of which, there is a Holocaust book called Alone in the Forest who’s author writes how she overheard a Nazi asking another Nazi how the war is going? The Nazi responded “Thank God it’s going well.” I guess you can find strange statements in all areas….

  2. Part of my job involves monitoring political polls over the phone. At a certain time of the year we will hire any warm body, so I hear some interesting things. One of the worst I heard was a nice enough employee in his 40s asking a respondent about the tax-funded display of a “MIN-er-UH” in public places.

    Of course the word was actually “menorah” as I went and told him after the poll was done so he’d pronounce it right the next time it came up in a script. I said: “The word is pronounced ‘men-NOR-uh'” and he looked at me blankly. I said “MENORAH, you know, that thing that Jews have?” He was like “What?” I said “You know those candle things that Jews light?! For Chanukah?!” He truly had no idea what the heck I was talking about.

    Totally serious response, he also wrote down the phonetics carefully: “You don’t say!” He’s a great worker though, very diligent. But I can totally imagine someone like him printing out these babies and putting them up all over a store, truly clueless that there was anything amiss.
