What Do Jews Do On Christmas? A Limerick Explanation
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Here’s a query that’s answered with ease:
“What do Jews do on Christmas Day, please?”
We watch movies and read.
Surf the Net. (Dull indeed!)
But mostly we munch on Chinese.
I can see through her dining room window that's some good lookin' moo goo gai pan and - oooh! my favorite! - General Tso's Chicken!
(I’ve dedicated that limerick to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan. (This post explains why.) And here’s a fun article about Jews and Chinese Food.
Maybe it's oy goy gai pan...
Update:
I couldn't resist this one, also from Mad:
"Two Jewish ladies are talking about what they're going to do on Christmas Day.
'Let's take in a movie and then have Chinese for dinner,' suggests the first.
'I don't know about the Chinese,' says the second. 'How about Thai?'
'What are you,' the first says, 'Reform?'

Damn it, now I want Chinese food!
Dang, I never knew it was an ancient Jewish tradition to eat Chinese food on Christmas day! Or at least, a tradition older than me, which makes it ancient enough ;). The things you learn on these Internets!
