The shortest[Haggadah](http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/low_concept/2006/04/the_twominute_haggadah.html) I’ve ever seen.  
I’m thinking of using it.

An example:

The four kinds of children and how to deal with them:  
Wise child—explain Passover.  
Simple child—explain Passover slowly.  
Silent child—explain Passover loudly.  
Wicked child—browbeat in front of the relatives.

I encountered a very large raccoon once, doing that.

I’m pretty sure one should never give a racoon wine. Who wants a drunk racoon rootin’ in the garbage? :eek:

I got the door closed quickly enough. It was Kosher, Baron Rothschild White ZInfindel, imported to Arkansas, back when you could do that. No way. 🙂

The linked Haggadah has a minor mistake:

It says “sing Dayenu”.  
It should have said :“sing ONE verse of Dayenu”

'Cause this is s’posed to be the _short_ Haggadah.

oh…and I like the part 'bout the raccoon. 🙂  
(But who drinks white Zinfindel on Passover, anyway? That’s sacrilege…even for a 2-minute Haggadah)

Good point, thanks!  
I can’t stand Mogen David or Manachevitz, however you spell it. 🙂
