Feelin’ Funny: Mordechai Schmutter

Frequent readers of this column are aware that about once a year, I get out of the house head off to Kosherfest, which is the biggest kosher food industry trade show within a seven-mile radius from my house.  For two days, everyone in the kosher food industry gets together – manufacturers, kashrus organizations, Israelis selling face cream, and security guards, and apparently one security dog, who was there to sniff for dangerous items but ended up spending a lot of time near the sausages – to either shake hands or pretend that they’d really like to, but they’re holding too many food samples.

Well, do we have some ideas for you!  They’re bad ideas, of course, but that’s what makes them perfect for you. 

Welcome back to “How Should I Know”, the column in which we attempt to answer people’s questions and hope they don’t take our advice seriously and ruin their lives.

Perhaps you’re someone who’s lived your whole life having other people set up menorahs for you, and now you’ve finally moved out and are wondering how to set one up on your own.  I mean, does it go right side up, or what?

It’s once again that time of year when we talk about the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony – an actual ceremony, held in Massachusetts, that celebrates the head-scratching scientific discoveries that are ignored by the so-called “Nobel Prize Committee”, because they did not get into the business to be entertaining.

My Compliments To The Chef

Welcome back to “How Should I Know?” – the column that always seems to know the wrong thing to say.
