The Run Away Dreidle
Today there was a young boy who was playing with his brand new dreidel. Quietly he sat humming the dreidle song to himself. Faster and faster the boy spun his top. Each time he would get more and more excited. The harder he spun it the more it wobbled. Soon it was out of hand. Now it was starting to bounce off the things on the table. All of a sudden, it happened. After the hardest spin ever given to a dreidel the top smashed through a glass, bounced off the jelly holder, and took off through the air. The dreidel struck the Mexican busboy’s eye. He screamed in pain, snatched up the boy by the scruff of his neck and took him to his parents. He asked,”Dis Jew boy? I hate Jew boy.” Well that started a shit storm. It got so bad that the police were called. The kids mother had to be hog tied and carried out screaming “ANTI-SEMITES! Mel Gibson wanna bes! Hitler Lovers!” The bus boy was beaten then dragged down the stairs and taken to the waiting squad car. He kept yelling “I HATE JEW BOY! I HATE JEW BOY!” Until the officers used the tazer on him. After that all he could do was make motorboat sounds and drool. So, if your child receives a dreidel for Hanukkah, please make them leave it at home. Mexicans haven’t wrapped the letter “Y” around their lips yet, so they mean to say “YOU”, however they pronounce it “JEW”.

you ever want to live in a non-english speaking country?
if so…
it would be best if you spent a bit of time learning the language and less time dodging the border patrol agents…or if you get stopped and they ask you where are you from?…you say….”cha right from the Valley..dude” you’re in

A Jewish friend of mine gave me a dreidle for Christmas (Hannukah? Can Jews give out Christmas presents?). Probably because I sang the dreidle song every time I saw him. I’ll have to be extra careful with it.

I feel bad Jewish people only get one song for their holiday and Christians have like… what? A million?

I grew up back in the NY area, and although I was a catholic (I have since repented, now I am just an agnostic) most of my friends were jewish. I went to more bar mitzvahs than communions, and that included my own.
But, has anyone ever accused you of being, how to say it, a stretcher of the truth? In sort, a bullchiter?
Funny story, very perceptive to linguist nuances. I had an Oriental professor and he could not say the word ZERO, it sounded like cherro, and for half a semester, we just sat there and smiled. Then when he wrote down the word ZERO, and said cherro, we all said Ahhhhhhh, Zero.
LOL

Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with dreidel I shall play!
Now that song is gonna be stuck in my head all day.
Happy Hanukkah!
Just in case you were wondering, I’m not part of the tribe.
Well, I mean, I’m sure I’m part of A tribe, somewhere in my genetic past. Just not THE tribe.

UW - you must be on a sexathon again, or a long drunk, or working a lot (or a combination of the three)…what gives - we need more snarky comments from you!
Manuel on December 11th, 2007
Jesus Tony, be careful what you ask for…..
Tony on December 11th, 2007
Aww, she’s not that scary…is she?

Hah Tony, I’m on a little vacation, and I mean little. But looky here, I’m not on a sexathon, I’m horse back riding. Same difference really!
Manuel, shouldn’t you be at work? Or moaning about the proper ways of Christmas parties?
Mr. DNA, my boyfriends definitely of THE tribe. His honker is huge! he can smell his own fart before it escapes his ass-pipe.
NativeMinnow, you’re lucky your little friend GAVE you anything!
Jenny, don’t feel bad that they only have one x-mas song to learn in band-camp..
Jerrster, most other countries teach their children several languages. So I could travel all over Europe and speak English all I want
So I don’t have to study their language, which gets me more time to party.
Did I forget anybody?

I’m reminded of the joke about the nacho cheese.

Geez you get one little letter wrong and it incites a riot!!! I have no idea what a dreidle is but if I ever find out my kids won’t be getting one and not because we’re not Jewish.
