If The Mercedes Is Inadequate…
I overheard a Jewish father on the phone picking a verbal fight with his 16yo son, berating him for some imaginary shortcoming, then making up with him and finishing the conversation with, “If your Mercedes air conditioner is inadequate, we’ll … Continue reading
Still A WASP
I was telling a Jewish friend about some freelance work I’m doing. When I mentioned how much I was making, he replied, “Tax free, of course.” I said: “I’m happy to pay my full and honest taxes. With deductions, it … Continue reading
