> A Jewish man took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park. He sat down on a bench and began eating. A little while later a blind man came by and sat down next to him. “What a mitzvah it would be to share my lunch with this poor blind soul,” he thought & passed a sheet of matzo to the blind man. The blind man handled the matzo for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, “Who wrote this crap?”

What I want to know is, if the Jews leaving Egypt were in such a hurry that they couldn’t wait for the dough to rise, how’d they have enough time to get all those little dotted lines so straight & uniform on every sheet?

I crumbled some up as crackers in a Skyline Chili/spaghetti with cheese bowl - K for P, right?

Hence the “bread of affliction” pseudonym…

It’s the bread of constipation. I eat matzo if I’m having a stomach bug with diarrhea, because I figure it might help, and at the very least will not make things worse.
