“Save Russian Jews! Collect valuable prizes!”
I read it in a Stephen King novel, but someone here once said they saw it somewhere. What does it mean?
Replace “Russian Jews” with “Green Stamps” or “box tops” … it’s a simple set-em-up-knock-'em-down joke along the lines of “Christmas comes but once a year … aren’t you glad you aren’t Christmas?”
Hope this helps.
Beats me!!! Unless it means “Save” as in “SAVE GREEN STAMPS”
Thought up by the same wit who suggested that “Jesus saves. Moses invests!”
And what are the odds of the first two answers to your question both using “green stamps” as an example? Fascinating!
The odds are bigger than you think. I almost used the “Jesus saves” example you used, sam.
Maybe we share the same Brain Cell:smack:
Save the Whales! Trade them with your friends!
It’s a joke. You know, haha?

It probably made more sense back in the '70s in the context in which I saw it in way back then:
Save SOVIET Jews! Win Valuable Prizes!
Jesus saves - Pele scores on the rebound!
