It's 'Lighten Up Friday' Apparently there will be at least once indictment issued tomorrow so all focus will be on that and rightfully so. So, let's ease into the weekend with some humor. I don't know the original source but will certainly credit him or her if anyone can inform me. Have a great weekend and thankfully, like Seinfeld's Soup Nazi--no indictments for you! On Rosh Hashanah there is a ceremony called Tashlich where Jews traditionally go to the ocean or a stream or river to pray and throw bread crumbs into the water. Symbolically, the fish devour their sins. Occasionally, people ask what kind of bread crumbs should be thrown. Here are suggestions for breads which may be most appropriate for specific sins and misbehaviors. For ordinary sins.....................White Bread For erotic sins.........................French Bread For particularly dark sins..........Pumpernickel For complex sins.....................Multigrain For twisted sins.......................Pretzels For tasteless sins....................Rice Cakes For sins of indecision...............Waffles For sins committed in haste.....Matzoh For sins of chutzpah................Fresh Bread For substance abuse...............Stoned Wheat For use of heavy drugs.............Poppy Seed For petty larceny.....................Stollen For committing auto theft.........Caraway For timidity/cowardice..............Milk Toast For ill-temperedness................Sourdough For silliness, eccentricity.........Nut Bread For not giving full value.............Shortbread For jingoism, chauvinism..........Yankee Doodles For excessive irony..................Rye Bread For unnecessary chances........Hero Bread For war-mongering...................Kaiser Rolls For dressing immodestly..........Tarts For causing injury to others......Tortes For lechery and promiscuity.....Hot Buns For promiscuity with gentiles....Hot Cross Buns For racist attitudes..................Crackers For sophisticated racism..........Ritz Crackers For being holier than thou.........Bagels For abrasiveness.....................Grits For dropping in without notice...Popovers For overeating.........................Stuffing For impetuosity.......................Quick Bread For indecent photography.........Cheesecake For raising your voice too often...Challah For pride and egotism...............Puff Pastry For being overly smothering.......Angel Food Cake For laziness.............................Any long loaf For trashing the environment......Dumplings For telling bad jokes/puns........Corn Bread top |
