We Jews are a complex pastiche, layered with strands of “oys” running through the joys. We do know that suffering is involved. Imagine for a moment Jews without humor. We’d have jumped off that roof with the Fiddler.

Manager: “Room Service. How may I help you?”
Jewish Mother: “This is room 402, Mister Room Service. I want to order a nice breakfast.”
Manager: “Certainly, madam. What would you like?”
Jewish Mother: “I want a glass of orange juice with pits. The toast should be burned to a crisp, two soft boiled eggs that are hard, and a pot of hot coffee that is cold…”
Manager: “Madam, I can’t fill an order like that!”
Jewish Mother: “Ahaaa! You did yesterday!”
