Bernard, in deference to your sensibilities, I shall not post another joke with a Jewish character in it again. Of course you know if the whole world followed your rules a sizeable part of the Jewish population of this country would be out of work. Broadway, the Catskills, the Poconos, Hollywood. Who was that comedian who Ed Sullivan didn't like who had such a great one man show on Broadway a few years ago. All Jewish jokes. But, unfortunately, that's not why we're all here. You deserve a place not to be hassled by the likes of me. So I won't. I'd love to pass on some Swedish & Norwegian jokes but we must be a boring lot because there aren't any. BTW, my apologies to Barney Frank. There is at least a Chapter 12 bankruptcy ( family farmers). ----Original Message----- From: Bruce Anderson <[log in to unmask]> To: A.
