I have begun to volunteer at a hospice residence. Volunteers meet quarterly and tonight I attended my first. An elderly Jewish man, much experienced in sitting by patients at the hospice at end of life and the only other male there -- though my training class was almost half male --, said Metamusil plans to introduce a kosher version of its product during Passover. Its marketing slogan will be "Let my people go." This led to another volunteer telling of the bank robbery that went terribly wrong, with the nervous robber gunning down everyone in the bank except for three men. He stalked over to the first and asked, "Did you see what I just did?" The man stammered, "Yes" and was promptly shot. Same thing for #2. The third guy, having taken this all in, heard the same question and replied, "Not me, not a thing, but my wife over there, hiding behind that desk, saw it all." And on the subway home, reading the NYT Sunday magazine article that apparently found it astonishing that the wife of a Baptist minister, who home-schooled her children, and believes in the healing power of Jesus Christ could also be a wildly popular comedian with a You Tube viewed millions of times -- link below -- (and could I just add here that you don't have to be believer to believe that 'tude says more about the Times than the article sheds light on the comedian. It's finally her husband who clues in the writer, "Funny is funny.") Anyway, she, telling of her Baptist upbringing, repeats this oldie but goodie: Why don't Baptists engage in premarital sex? Because it might lead to dancing.
