SHMULEY AND MORTY AT THE 9TH HOLE AT ST ANDREWS



MORTY: Shmuley! Shmuley! I knew we had a lot in common, but I had no idea Avram Zelikowitz was YOUR mohel, too!

SHMULEY: What? We barely know each other! We haven't even hit the locker rooms yet... It's true, but... How the heck could you tell I was circumcised by Zelikowitz?

MORTY: Well, Shmuley, to be honest... I could tell by the tilt in your kilt!

LOL! Funny - I get pinged to the archaelogical stuff - by the headline I thought they had discovered some 2000 year old Jewish tartan. Now THAT would be something.

OMG....they have such things??

The Goodwill in Frederick is half-price on Sunday but it’s too dang far away.

On that note, last week in the Greencastle Goodwill, I snagged a $750 Black Rivet leather jacket for....*$20*.

Didn’t even know what a deal I’d gotten until I got home and looked it up online.

I’ve had vegetarian haggis. Would that be kosher if it’s vegetarian?

Wow. My 16-year-old daughter would kill for that.

I got a Chico’s silk dress for $2 with the tags still on, about $85 retail, at TSA. Another day I got a blue silk dress, hand embroidered and smocked, girls’ size 4, with the tags on, for $4.50. Sally found it listed online for $178. The embroidery is actual silver: it’s tarnishing.

The description said “Flower Girl Dress,” so I expect it was bought for a wedding that didn’t happen. Kathleen (3) wore it in her pictures with Tom (19), with a “princess and her tame ogre” theme.
