(3,051 posts)This was a literal conversation I overheard during the holidays. It's not a joke, but just strike me as something that could be.
The names have been changed to protect my relatives. The Yiddish use is as was heard.
Sarah is a older Jewish lady. She was talking to her long time friend Gilda, with whom she has a mutual competitive relationship, as Jewish grandmothers are want to do.
Sarah: "I heard your grand daughter has decided she is a lesbian and is marrying a woman. What a shanda!
Gilda, sighing, "Yes, but her spouse is Jewish. And a doctor!"
Sarah (involuntarily) "Ohh!"
No clue why this conversation was so damn funny, but I almost spit out my drink. It's literally the most Jewish conversation I've ever heard.
And, yes, Sarah, is a bit of a witch.
