I can see where he thinks he's coming from, but he's messy as hell. The Pope has to be Catholic. It's a thing.
I also didn't know that almost ever great comedian is Jewish.
And we live to fight another day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, ita? Next time we are at the Hump and they offer me citrus sorbet, and I say sure, I think it should be okay, will you smack me (gently) and then laugh at me?

Sandy Cohen thinks so. "Gentiles. I love your mother to death but not funny. Get funnier friends."

Sandy Cohen's a lovely man, but it didn't take conversion to make Sammy Davis Jr. funny.

Oh, ouch. I don't have any citrus allergies, and I swear I started reacting. I don't know why I think "Citrus peel sorbet, interesting choice." after the main courses we saw, but still. It was harsh. I hope you're all properly doped up.

In theory, it should have been a nice ender, to cleanse the palate and all that. They were just a little over exuberant with the peel.
I'm pretty good and doped up, and the rash is gone.

If I only had a brain...
Why is the "Swells" page full of old white people?
White people are genetically better at getting rich.

If I only had a brain...
Why is almost every great violinist or comedian Jewish?
Midori, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Sarah Chang, and Vanessa-Mae stare at this question blankly.
Somebody's at least 20 years out of date...

Dave Chappelle hasn't heard the question, because he's too busy trying to deal with being called the next Richard Pryor.
I wonder if comedy will end up being like basketball. I mean, there was a time when almost ever great basketball player was Jewish. Stuff changes. Society changes. That's where true diversity lies -- where society gives people equal shots at succeeding or failing. And for a million reasons, patterns will form and dissipate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
White people are genetically better at getting rich.
Must be. There really isn't any other explanation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Must be. There really isn't any other explanation.
Nah. I think that white people are genetically better at picking rich parents.
