it's Good Friday today. Lots of folks take this day off as it leads up to one of the holiest of days that takes place this Sunday in which Jesus, after being crucified on Good Friday was laid to rest and three days later Christians celebrate his rising from the dead on Easter Sunday. How do they celebrate the holiday? Lots of sales and looking for Easter eggs. That's what Jesus would do. Easter also means that Passover is fast approaching and Purim is already here. Purim is not as well known as Passover but still one that is worth celebrating. Passover involves more food (a staple with the Tribe) and is actually fun but kind of long. Although not as serious as the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur it still ranks up in the top 5. Don't expect too many Passover sales though. Just wouldn't sound right you know? A Passover sale sounds like you're just browsing and not really going to make a sale. Do atheists celebrate anything? Maybe someone should start a holiday just for them. Was asked to tour Iraq for a USO tour along with two other comics this summer. I'll do it only because I believe they want to use me as a decoy against Al-Queda. I guess I should omit the Jew reference from my passport? Whatever it takes. Happy Easter.
