People are probably aware of the
Israeli minister who thinks "swine flu" is offensive to Jews and Muslims because it refers to a food they
can't eat. I don't get it...I could see the objection if they named a deadly disease after something that Israelis
do eat (falafel pox?), but it's hard for me to understand this one. I'm assuming he was mistranslated.
Saying an Orthodox Jew has swine flu would be like saying a conservative Christian has AIDS. The implication (for idiots, but nevertheless) is that they broke The Law. Kosher in one case, buttsecks in the other.
ReplyDeleteIs my brain leaking out my ears a symptom I should worry about?
ReplyDeleteA leading indicator of mind flu. Also, I got a rope burn recently or as I call it "twine flu". *furiously writes these down*
