\"Book<\/a>This book<\/a> puts me in a moral panic. Should I like it? It’s Jewish humor. Should I feel bad in singling out Jewish humor in this way? The modern world is so very confusing.<\/p>\n

At any rate, this little McNeel book is a collection of one liners from Jewish comedians sometimes about the Jewish experience in the United States. It was amusing and very short which is its raison d’\u00eatre<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Which is a French saying in a book about Jewish humor. Should I have said something Yiddish instead? Shtick<\/em> is right in the book title so it was used already.<\/p>\n

At another rate, I bought this book at an estate sale for a couple of bits, and it’s worth that just for the simple pleasure of a couple of good one-liners whether you have a Jewish mother or just a mother.<\/p>\n
