*A "weiss guy," according to "The Kreplach Ness Monster," is anybody who would eat good pastrami, corned beef, salami, or roast beef on Wonder Bread with mayonnaise and a sweet pickle.
On Christmas Day, my husband and I took in a movie and ate Chinese food at Dixon Li's Oriental Express in Lake Worth, Florida. The "Four Happiness" dish (shrimp, chicken, beef and roast pork) was "batamt."
My fortune cookie contained the following message:
"MAY YOUR PASTRAMI NEVER HAVE MAYONNAISE ON IT."
On the drive home, we shared our favorite
food stories.
One "ovnt" (evening), when the rich man was entertaining a lady whom he was quite fond of, who should knock on the door but Rev Nuisance himself--the star boarder.
"Look," said the merchant as he peered through the slightly open door, "if you don't mind, I'm entertaining a lady 'fraynd.'"
"I don't mind at all," said the nervy schnorrer. "I'll eat in the kitchen."
"Then tell me, do you like cold chicken?"
"Oh, I just love cold chicken--I wouldn't have it any other way," said the beggar enthusiastically.
"That's just fine!" snapped the merchant. "Come back tomorrow. The chicken is piping hot right now!"
