STRAIGHT FROM THE MUT

Spent another Christmas in Iowa this year.  (I say that as if maybe this was the year we celebrated in Tel Aviv.) As usual we saw a movie Christmas day. My in-laws normally tailor the plans in the way to make me feel most comfortable. You know, they have their Jewish friends over, make me dreidel cookies, have blue tinsel. Basically anything they saw on television that a Jew was doing, they plan for me. Other than going to jail for a $50 Billion Ponzi scheme.

Well this year, the had an extra special treat for me for the holiday. We went to see "Valkyrie." Lets see, a movie staring a Scientologist about...HITLER!! I could just imagine my in-laws looking at movie times. "Four Christmases? Not Jewish enough... Marley and Me? Looks stupid....Oh, this one is about the Nazi's. David is going to love it!"

FYI Steve: Didn't need the post movie pep-talk. "Sorry they didn't get him. That might have worked out better for you."  You think??
