I saw a very funny post somewhere.

Someone said that she had started to celebrate Xmas instead, and will continue to do so until the Jewish people has agreed on how to spell Chanukkah!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sonja, that is a bit performed by comedienne Rita Rudner, I found a clip of it.

The video above is almost 30 minutes, but the quote you mention starts at the 2:45 mark.  Just start it and let it play, you'll get a taste of Rita's comedy style, and you'll hear the quote.

LOL! Thanks for posting this, Chuck!!

She's hilarious!  :laugh:  :laugh:  Never heard of her before.

I love how she delivers all those jokes with this "dumb blonde little voice" attitude!   :laugh:

I'm glad you both liked her.  I'll explain something that was said at the end of the show, and why it got a big laugh.  Whoever posted this to youtube did it in two parts, this was part two.  At the end she's talking about her child asking her questions, and one of them was "why is my name Nefertiti?" and she says "Son, I once met a painter named Jethro".

in Part one, she makes a joke about waiting too long to have kids, and now every name that she or her husband picks reminds them of someone that they hate, so they can't give the child that name, and they were left with either Jethro or Nefertiti.  Then she tells the joke about the painter who won't fill in the holes, so she bring him in as "the painter named Jethro".

I guess they were trying to be ecumenical in my public grade school. Fifty years later I still have the Hanukkah song we used to sing stuck in my head!

Quote
Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, come light the menorah!
Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, let's all dance the hora!
Judah Maccabee fought to set his people free;
He was fearless, courageous and bold;
He was fearless, courageous and bold!

I am happy that I have not heard any of Adam Sandler's Chanukah Songs.

Thank you Chuck!

I visited my son and DIL this weekend and lit the first candle with my grandchildren a little early this afternoon.

Jona wasn't very impressed by the candles, all he wanted was to open presents. The babies didn't care either way as long as they got to grab things and put them in their mouth :laugh: :laugh:

But I loved it!

Are those latkes? They look good! What are they made of? Do you dip them in anything?
Title: Re: Happy Chanukah
Post by: Sason on December 20, 2022, 08:26:04 pm
Yes they are latkes.

Made mostly of grated potatoes with a little flour and egg in the batter.

You can eat them either savoury with sour cream, in that case you add some onion to the batter.

Or you can eat them sweet with apple sauce or jam.

Grate! I like potato anything.
Will have to try to make them.
