No kidding. Super Tuesday, I posted a joke diary that started with:
A Jewish man and a Chinese man were conversing. The Jewish man commented upon what a wise people the Chinese are.
"Yes," replied the Chinese man, "Our culture is over 4,000 years old. But, you Jews are a very wise people, too."
The Jewish man replied, "Yes, our culture is over 5,000 years old."
The Chinese man was incredulous, "That's impossible, he replied. Where did your people eat for a thousand years?"
Turns out in Israel yesterday, you couldn't buy egg rolls. In two weeks, no sushi for you!
