Who knew \*\*cmkeller \*\* was Jewish? (I mean **Zev Steinhardt** , yes, but cmkeller?) I swear, it’s as if I were new-ish. When I don’t get jokes About some well-known folks It makes me, well, just a tad blue-ish. ---

How could this dumb poster named Oy! (Who’s, by the way, also a Goy) Tell Christian from Jew Or, hell, brown eyes from blue When she can’t even tell girl from boy??? (on this message board, not in real life) Part of the problem’s, I guess, That I lurk in the Pit to excess. So I don’t get around Where this stuff’s mostly found Which is in MPSIMS. Not everyone cares for the Pit, But I’ve found it for me a good fit. I see some great laughs And some huge social gaffes And can say without worry “Horse shit!” ---

And it sometimes seems that All threads about Jews start on the Sabbath. In fact, it’s been called [cmkeller’s Law](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7629546&postcount=57) ---

[QUOTE=Oy!] Inspired by a pit thread: Our \*\*monstro \*\* asked “do I sound mad?” Prepared to admit “Oops!

**saoirse** ’s an interesting name, How to pronounce it’s a game! If I say it "say-WAHRZ’ Will it earn me gold stars? Or’s “say-OR-zee” less worthy of blame? ---
