Funny line in synagogue today...from my own WIFE! |
|
She said: the name "Palin" sounds like "Haman" (bad guy) and she wants to twirl the Gragger (noisemaker) every time she hears her name.
Purim joke, for the uninitiated.
She floored me...doesn't happen often.

6. During the Purim service the Megillah |
|
or the story of Puring is read to the congregation. Every time Haman, the evil guy, is mentioned by name the whole assembled group twirls a gragger, or noisemaker real loud b/c he's such a BAD GUY.
Maybe we need some of those for Palin...
Palin = Haman

That's hilarious. I know the story of Queen Esther/Hadassah and remembered that Haman was the bad guy, but this shiksa (sp?) didn't know about the gragger/noisemaker thing during Purim. lol Your wife is funny. :-)

7. That's interesting, because I've read that some of the Rapture Ready are insisting |
|
that Sarah Palin is actually Queen Esther.
Personally, I think she's the Whore of Babylon.
