First things first: Well, lookee who got quoted in the first paragraph of this Jpost story about intermarriage. Seems the author liked my piece about the GA.
Next: the Comedy for Koby event last night was great. Several more shows happening around the country so you should be sure to make it.
Anyway….like many of these posts seem to begin these days….so I’m at work yesterday when a co-worker comes across a picture of Jerry Hall, of all people. Seems that someone thought a laminated picture of her would be an interesting way to label a jerry can (canteen) which our groups use when on hikes. As always, I thought this would be an opportune moment for a cultural lesson. As always, these moments never turn out as expected. And here we go…
Me: “Jerry Hall: does anyone know who she is?”
Co-worker: “Waht eez thet doo-eng here?”
Me: “Does anyone know who she is? I’ll give someone a million dollars if yes.”
Co-worker: “Ah seen-gehr?”
Me: “No.”
Co-worker: “Ahk-tress?”
Me: “No. She was married to Mick Jagger.”
Co-worker: “Eez he deh one weeth deh beeg mouth?”
Me: “You could say that. Do you know what band he’s in?”
Other co-worker, eavesdropping: “Gahns and…”
Hand hits forehead. Loud cackling ensuses.
Hey, look! It’s Axl Rose!“Oh! Oh, oh, OHH! SWEET CHILD OF…EHHHHHHH………”
too bad I wasn’t there to get the million $’s
How old is the co-worker? Maybe they were just too young to know Mick and the band (giggle)
the younger generation…
Congrats on the mention in the JPost– it was the only good part of that article!
Jerry Hall is not only known for frequent guest appearances on David Letterman but she is a Texan and a model. I’m old enough to know!
jodi
If I had a million dollars…
I kind of wish Mick had been in GNR. We would have seen “Chinese Democracy” a lot sooner, I bet.
Jagger was never good looking, but now he looks like a monster.
Mick still gets around.
But why do you expect Israelies to know who Jerry Hall is?
That’s not it; it’s the part about thinking Mick Jagger was the lead singer of Guns n’ Roses. She was only 25 years off. Even Led Zeppelin would have been more acceptable.
“And she’s buying a Stairway to….EHHHHHHHHHHHH”
