Five Signs of a Stroke

1. Pinch yourself in the behind. If you can’t feel it, have someone else do it.
2. Sing Kol Nidre. In Spanish.
3. Lie down and close your eyes. Think of your worst elementary school teacher. Open your eyes. I said: “Open your eyes!”
4. If you are a woman, are you wearing your brassiere on your head like a scarf?
5. If you are a man, did you notice No. 4?

Elsewhere here, I titled this “Sunshade-less in Gaza?”

It seems especially fitting that we celebrate the bounty of the land with pictures of Injuns welcoming English invaders with open arms and platters of food. Just think, some of that food was grown on underdeveloped land right underneath all those football stadums. Perhaps the imagery would be more complete if the Cowboys played the Redskins every year. Except the Redskins wouldn't be allowed to wear pads. Or shoes. Remember, the Natives celebrate Thanksgiving too. They call it Yourwelcomesgiving.
