It's Monday. It's early for me. I feel sleep deprived and it's "BC" (before coffee). crazy confused

Tell me, please, that this is not some bad dream or some prank or that I fell down the rabbit hole with Alice in Wonderland. (No offense meant to our good friend, Alice, here.)

Gotta get that pot brewing. Be back in a couple hours.

One pint and a half of coffee later. Alive and kicking.

But I'm like you. I still see this statement. If this were tomorrow, I'd say, "April Fool!!"

Hmmm, flying pigs, eh? I wonder if Mr. Gorin was seeing
pink elephants when he made that statement. Maybe some friend
had given him a bottle of Scotland's most famous product. But
perhaps in that case it was a tartan elephant (none my clan's
tartans, I hope.)

Actually I have just had a thought <Light bulb going on smiley>

He saw a pink bear smile

Well they are to be found in the depths of the Siberian Forests and they live on Fruit cake - or so the 45 min long story goes that I first heard when I was about 18 .

my father told that story to my mother when she was in hospital and the narrative took up the whole of one hospital visiting session - though laughing , she was not amused ]

Well, considering Israel's history of religious tolerance and their "spin doctors" this statement should not suprise them.

Oy vey! A Klog is mir! Yet another confused brother! As a Jewish Christian with family living in Israel, I would definitely have to say this guy is off his rocker. Things have been so bad that my Uncle Chuck Aunt Sylvia and cousins have not been able to go out to worship at their synagogue on the Sabbath. This guy is fachadick where is his saichel? All I have to say for Mr. Gorin is that he is a farblondzhet! What a meshugeneh!
