On Being Jewish


I just got my 23 & Me.

It says I’m pretty English and Irish,

2.5 % Scandinavian,

and 0.2 % Ashkenazi Jew.


I knew I had long had a mean streak.

Also, I really like chicken soup.

I drive a car 35 years old

and shop at GoodWill when I drop things off.


A lot of things are falling in place.

However, I’m not getting circumcised.

You have to draw the line somewhere.
