So this afternoon, I went to the supermarket to get stuff for Aaron’s lunches. We spent enough that we got the free Easter ham.
This is, of course, the punchline of a bad Jewish joke:
“What’s the ultimate Jewish dilemma?”
“Free ham”
This is a joke come to life.
Anyone else have one of these?

A young woman in my office asked me recently, “What’s the difference between prose and other kinds of poetry?” I tried to explain but she still wasn’t quite clear, so finally I got to tell her that, just like Mr. Jourdain, she’d been speaking prose all her life and she never knew it.
Now I’m waiting for someone to ask me how to get to Carnegie Hall.
A couple of the grocey chains around Indianapolis promote turkeys as an alternate to ham for Easter. Is this an option?
Sure, why not? As another option, you could always serve hasenpheffer. 
The options were the ham, a turkey, or 10% off a future order. I just thought that “free ham” was funny.

Sayeth Bugs Bunny’s mark:
That actually happened to me once, on the Upper West Side, and, yes, I said, “Practice!”
Just this week, our tiny, wizened fashion director said to me, “Our stylist just told me I have the body of a 25-year-old!” and I thought, “do I keep my mouth shut and keep my job, or do I say, ‘You better give it back, you’re getting it all wrinkled!’”
You must have one heckuva good job, for it to be worth passing up a straight line like that!
