[...] Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave
him out of the discussion, she asked Isaac Cohen the same question.
Not wanting to leave him out, or wanting to set him apart from the rest of the class?
"Well, it's the same thing every year. Dad comes home from the office. We all get into the Rolls Royce, and we drive to his toy factory. When we get inside we look at all the empty shelves and we sing," What a friend we have in Jesus. Then we all go to the Bahamas."
Um... Actually... You got your seasons mixed up a bit... *Easter*, not Christmas, marks the "open season" for Jew-hunting. It's when all those rich, Rolls Royce-riding, Jesus-mocking, fat blighters *come back from the Bahamas* and start killing the Christian babies to get the blood for their matzohs, that every good Christian gets geared up for a nice pogrom. Christmas, we spend at home, celebrating the birth by a spot of cannibalism -- we eat the body (the wafer) and drink the blood (the wine at mass)...
And here I was, worrying about *my* jokes skirting the "PC rules" to a millimeter, because I consider most of the "PC rules" a bunch of nonsense...
