Yeah, that's pretty much it. One of the many old stereotypes.

All in good fun here.

Yes, it makes sense, it is taken that many people of the Jewish religion are the best at what they do, jewellers, accountants etc.


All of our Jewish friends drive Volvos! Volvo Wagons!

"" Heh, Gentile, they don't get it. Heh heh! "" ~ That's an odd word for you to chose to use .... No ?

Volvo Wagons? Yeeeech. No taste, No taste at all ! Waaay to much Matzoh, musta gone to brain cells.

When I was growing UP (as opposed to growing OUT {now} ) the synagogue's parking lot held 100 cars. I am telling the truth... 80 to 85
of them had late model Caddies in them. WE, on the other hand had Imperials, and thus was born the phrase ~"What's That" ~ Which I got SICK of hearing !! :tisk:

68 shopping days left boys and girls!

Argh! Don't remind me. Call me a Grinch, but I dread the holiday season.

With only a couple of exceptions, I've had to travel to family get togethers for the past 18 years—and if you've done it a few times, you know how much fun that is (NOT).

With the exception of classic Christmas carols (preferably played on a church organ) and the soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, most holiday music is godawful.

For extra money a couple of years ago, I worked as a cashier at Target over the holidays, and I couldn't believe how much money people spent on useless crap. One lady spent over $500 just on tree trimmings.

I won't be completely negative, though. I love going to church on Christmas Eve, watching A Charlie Brown Christmas and the Grinch (the original, hysterically funny and wonderful cartoon, not that abomination of a movie) and seeing my family since we're scattered around the country. My older sister's daughters are teenagers now, but it's still fun to be the doting uncle. And my younger sister has twins, who turn two on December 26. So it's not all bad.

Halloween is no big deal, but I usually stock the good stuff (mini Snickers and M&Ms).

I'm Italian, that's my excuse. :cool2: |||

 

[Sandy]

Same difference !

My (long gone) Caddy salesman friend once told me that if it were not
for the Italians & the Jews he'd be makin' $9,000 @ year selling them.
He didn't say, but I had heard thru good source he was earning over
$ 60,000 @ yr, and this was in 1971, Caddies Hay Day !!

 

[mccombie_5]

Yes Sandy, Volvo wagons, usually the older veriety, 960s and V90s. I think its just the way it is. Also we know a couple of Italian folks and they drive an Alfa Romeo 166, a 147, and a Fiat Coupe between three (father, mother, son)

Im unsure why, but it seems most of the Jewish community (and North East England has the biggest Jewish community outside of London) drive Volvos of some sort. There is one area of Gateshead where most of the Jewish community lives, and you can drive down that street, and out of maybe 60 cars parked on it, 50 of them will be Volvos.

" Heh, Gentile, they don't get it. Heh heh! "

~ That's an odd word for you to chose to use .... No ?

I didn't think so. Like Adam I am part Jew. My paternal grandmother was a JAP though she'd never admit it. She grew up in a non-religious home in New York where prejudice pushed her to deny her ethnic heritage. When my wife made the comment “I think it’s cool that you are Jewish.” In the context of her being part of the chosen race her response was “Oh, I’m not Jewish, I’m a Baptist.” (lol)

So, because my heritatge is through my Father and not my Mother I wouldn't be considered Jewish by Israel for immigration pruposes but I would have been considered for extermination by the Nazis. Thank God I was born an American after that horrible time.

I suppose I would be considered akin to the Samaritans in biblical Judea 2,000 years ago. Racial prejudice has been around since the Tower of Babel. Too bad.

 

[Sandy]

IF that is YOUR picture, Kev.... the map of Israel is on your mug. Case Closed Happy New Year !

Next.....

 

[addison_ii]

Well my heritage is certainly a diverse one. My grandfather(mother)is of Novia Scotia descent. My grandmother (mother) is of Creole / Native American descent. My fathers parents were both African American. So my heritage is pretty mixed in(like Ragu it's in there). Father's side are Baptist, Mother's side are Catholic.

I'm very proud of that nose, thank you very much.

 

[Sandy]

I was thinking more along the lines of the hair, 'ya know, dark & curly.
But, the nose knows

Oh..... well....... ah.......... it's not as dark as it used to be, I have to cheat now and it's straight. But my nose and eyes are from my grandmother's side. She looked very much like Elizabeth Taylor when she was young and even in her twilight years.

 

[Sandy]

Okay.
When Iwas like 12 or 14, I once told my Mom that I wanted to marry Elizabeth Taylor because she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
'bout half dozen other guys beat me to her :rant2: She is still aknock out, considering her age.

 

[Adam]

who is Elizabeth Taylor?

you guys know what is kind of ironic, we were talking about Jews in a Christmas thread... it just now hit me for some odd reason. thats kinda funny.
