When Arthur Miller brought his new wife, Marilyn Monroe, home for
Passover, Arthur's mother, of course, served matzo ball soup. Marilyn
tasted it and commented: "This is delicious. What other parts of the
matzo do you use?"

I belive the quote was actually a joke, as it was "arnt there any other
parts of the matzo you can eat?"...either that or she was a REAL idiot

The matzos. They live in grassy alpine meadows along with the naugas.

The Marilyn Monroe story is apocryphal, but those of us who are old enough
to have seen Moe Raft, a marvelous burlesque comedian, remember his "Codfish
balls" routine, which ended with the punch line, "They're the best part of
the codfish."

Moe also did a routine called "Four Walls." Anybody remember that one?

And Willie Howard did "French in ten easy lessons -- or five hard ones" in
which he translated Yiddish spoken with a French accent. "Gai avec," he
told his landlord, which he translated as "I'll pay you later."

Holey moley, I feel old.

My forefathers used to hunt the Naugas for their hides.

You had forefathers. Eh! That must have been pretty rough. Did they all show
up at your Bar Mitzvah? Anyhow, just wanted to clear something up about the
Naugas. They don't live in grassy alpine meadows. They live mostly in The
Great Plywood Forest, and they eat polyester plants. They are on the
Endangered
Species List.

But I am most concerned about the near extinction of the wild Velcro. Since
the practical use requires hide from both the male and female Velcro, and
their numbers have been decreasing rapidly, soon we will be back to buttons
and zippers.

Naugahhide is another Jewish culinary delicacy, better known by its
brand name: Empire Turkey Bologna.

Four skins? Wasn't that a singing group in the fifties?

You use to have four skins? Why in my day, we only had the
one, and that not for very long.
