Jewish as a Second Language

<DIV><B>It's a NICE book.</B><BR/><BR/> Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you'd entered. It's everything from mastering the OAQ (Obsessive Anal Question) - "They'll de-ice the wings before we take off, right?" - to never, ever believing your mother-in-law when she says "Don't bother driving me, I'll take a cab." Now in a second edition that's bigger, better, and with more guilt, this is the indispensable guide.<BR/>  </DIV><DIV><B>Who knew?</B></DIV><DIV>*<B> Jewish Cooking</B> (the first two hours of boiling a chicken are just to make sure it's dead)<BR/> * <B>Jewish Eating</B> (you should eat eight times a day if you're diabetic - or if you're not)<BR/> *<B> The Art of Two-Person Worrying</B> (Jewish Ping-Pong)</DIV><DIV><B>* The hotel-room-changing gene</B>, the always-at-the-doctor gene, and other genes only Jews have<BR/> * <B>Boxing gloves</B>, a rottweiler, Pop-Tarts, and fourteen other things you'll never find in a Jewish home<BR/> * <I>And so much more.
