...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

One more before I go: Debbie Schlussel explains that, Lebanese assertions to the contrary, Israel did not "steal" falafal, hummus and other delectables from the Arabs. In fact, hummus is an Israeli invention, and the rest of the food items have long been a staple of Sephardic cuisine in Arabs lands, where Jews had lived for centuries until they were unceremonioiusly kicked out (without food or compensation) following the '48 War of Independence.

In deference to the day of fasting that begins at sundown, I will not post a photo of any of these purportedly purloined edibles.
