No prob. It seems everybody is over-sensitive nowadays and the RO factor has climbed exponentially these past 10 years or so. Easy to see how someone could have gotten the RO vibe from my post.
I called it and started cracking up hearing Stephen say “Shalom”. As a Jew, I’m not offended. It’s funny.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I’m guessing “RO” stands for “rust oxide” and he has this confused with the 1-888-MOPS-KEY thread. Honest mistake- rust oxide is one of the top ten causes of mop failure, after all. If you have a metal mop, keep it shiny so rust oxide doesn’t occur.
I just called the hotline! I’ll have to call back after I think of something good to apologize for, but the Mops Key stuff is flat-out hilarious.
"All our Mop-erators are busy . . . " That’s great, thanks Shoshana! 
Oh, I know what RO means. But BigGirl said people are way too sensitive these days. I don’t appreciate that.
You’re welcome. If anyone was offended (or offended by anything I’ve said this year), I apologize!
Must proof read! :smack:
the message caught me off guard…never mind.
Is this a whoosh?
If not I won’t be correcting you. This year, I gave up tendetious explanations of Christianity for Lent.
Oh, man, I wasn’t expecting that.
Mr. Neville and I are fairly observant Conservative Jews, and we thought it was funny.
Something for everyone!
Paganism is looking better all the time…
Very funny. I didn’t hear this punchline when I just called, though.
Remember, Colbert is 3/4 Jewish. Well, 3/4 chance of being Jewish.
So it’s 1/4 chance of being offensive.
snicker
If that wasn’t a joke, one or both of us is/are going to feel really silly. If it was a joke, I salute you, sir!
That’s what I was saying- the punchline was there last year, but not this year. I’m not sure why- maybe because the same disclaimer is used for both OOPS-JEW and MOPS-KEY (which is new this year). This is the second year the Atone-Phone has been in service. When Dr. Colbert originally introduced the number before Yom Kippur 2006, he originally had a Hebrew phone number…until he realized Jews do not have special phones. He then changed it to 1-888-OOPS-JEW. Supposedly, in the time between Yom Kippur 2006 and Yom Kippur 2007, a company called 1-888-MOPS-KEY has taken the number, hence the new message.
Hey, come on in, the hellfire’s fine!
Darn it! I hadn’t had a chance to be offended, yet! You apologized too soon!!
Grumble, grumble …
Yeah, she Jewped the gun!
