The 2nd Ave. Deli, which closed its doors seven months ago, is soon to be replaced by Chase. (Oh, you thought it would be a Duane Reade drugstore?) It's a "shandeh un a charpeh" (shame and disgrace)! Wouldn't Bank Leumi have been a better choice?Open a bank account; get a toaster. Banks don't give away toasters much today. iPods and George Forman grills, yes! And about 70% of accounts are opened by females of the household.
Like most customers, I love freebies. I'm writing to the CEO of Chase suggesting that when Chase opens for business on Second Avenue, that they offer their customers the following gifts:
Box of Jewish fortune cookies with over 100 different authentic Jewish proverbs and witticisms:
"Tzedukah" box.
Aleph-Bet refrig. magnets.
FREE evaluation by a personal trainer at Kosher Gym, New York's only fully equipped, state-of- the-art fitness center catering specifically to the Orthodox Jewish &nb sp; community.
Hebrew date converter.
Pair of tix to see the movie, "Boynton Beach Club" (AKA "The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club.)
Shvitz sports towel.

Copy of "Memories of TV's Greatest Talk Show" ; by Mike Douglas. FYI: Mike once asked Groucho Mark about discrimination. Groucho said he knew a little about discrimination firsthand. When he first moved to LA, already a star, his daughter had come home crying from a ritzy country club. They wouldn't let her swim in the pool because she was Jewish. "so, I wrote them a letter. I explained that I was a Jew but her mother was a Christian. I said, 'Since she's only half Jewish, is it all right if she just goes in up to her waist?"
CD, a bisel music from "The Second Avenue Klezmer Ensemble."
