I just read the funniest article ever in our local Jewish weekly newspaper. apparently the last two Jews living in Afganistan are living in the same apartment building but aren't on speaking terms. both have lots of family in Israel, and both refuse to move, becaue they don't want the other to be the last Jew left in the country. I'm deadly serious. and not all that surprised. I wonder why anti-semites even bother spewing made up stuff about us when it's clear we all have some terribly entertaining mental defect that leads to behaviour like this. and I thought my grandparents were funny.

That's hilarious! And here I thought all those comedians were just exaggerating.

nope, they really aren't. you should see my family, we're like a fucking caricature, except...real. it's scary. but scary funny.

thats hilarious. whats even more crazy is that there are only two jews in the entire country. and they both live in the same apartment building. you couldn't make this stuff up. unless you are in fact making it up.

I'm not making it up. it was really published in this week's Jewish World. it's too good to be fiction.

What makes Jews behave the strange and sometimes crazy ways they do?

I wonder. don't other etnic groups have weird personality quirks like these? or are we really the only ones?

Well, I am familiar with Taiwanese-Chinese ethinic quirks. If you ask me about those, I will be able to tell you the whys for some of them. But what are the whys for these Jewish quirks?

I really couldn't tell you. I just ran to ask my mom, and neither she nor my sister could come up with any reasons. I would love to research it or something, but I can't think of nay way to do it. what are Taiwanese-Chinese quirks? and reasns behind them? maybe hearing about someone elses's explanations will inspire me to realize the reasons for mine.

Oy vey...

what are you oy veying about?

Nothing. He just thought it might sound, I don't know intelligent?

Not really. I thought it'd sound funny in an ironic sort of way. ;)
