As a [Jew consipring to make Michael Jackson penniless](http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/368275p-313343c.html), I call “dibs” on Neverland!

Ewwww… Why would you want it? It probably needs to be hosed down. If you touch anything, you’d have to wash your hands with oven cleaner.

Although with any luck my sister-in-law will score some good swag and I’ll get a nice Christmas gift.

Hey, they were “telephone conversations recorded without permission”, so the racism is OK!

Yet one more example, Zev. They’ll never stop hating us. Not that I can see. We just have to put up with it and make them look like the idiots they are.

And I call the Beatles catalog. I could work with that.

I dunno, **Zev** , are you sure you deserve it more than all the Jews who’ve really worked to bring him down, like, say, the owners and directors of Sony?

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of perceived bad blood between blacks and Jews. What’s up with that? Is it an established prejudice or am I hearing of isolated incidents?

Damn. Like [this guy](http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29672), I feel left out of the worldwide Jewish consipracy. Where’s my media outlet? My bank? My big house in Beachwood?

Hmph. I haven’t gotten my Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy newsletter in _months_. Come to think of it, I haven’t received it since I noticed that guy staring at me while I ate a Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic this past Yom Kippur. :smack:

Too bad Jews don’t do penance. I’d eat a whole jar of store-bought gefilte fish if it meant that I could get my hands on some of that Beatles catalog.

Well, the Nation of Islam, with which I understand Jacko has some kind of relationship, specializes in blaming Jews and the White Man™ for all the problems of black people.

I’m not Jewish, but I’ve been mistaken for one a couple times. Can I still get in on the spoils?

You guys are supposed to be controling the world, and you can’t even succeed at getting a creepy pop star convicted of pederasty? Yáll have got to be the world’s most incompetent conspiracy!

That’s too high a price to pay.

My grandfather used to eat that stuff. And big bowls of borscht. It was like the Culinary House of Horrors every time I visited him.

How long did you have to wait after he’d been to the bathroom before it was safe to go in?

I’m not Jewish either, but I do like matzo ball soup. Can I get a piece of the Beatles catalogue? Please? Just give me **Eleanor Rigby**.
