What's the end game for these guys? One day, while learning the daf, the guy is going to say, "nu, the gemara is taka unfair on Yeshua Ha'notzri"?
A few months ago I gave Jackie Mason a hard time because of his racist humor. Now Mal Z. Lawrence, another old time Jewish comedian is dead. I never heard of him but what do you know? He's got a similar act, doing racist ethnic dialect. youtube.com/watch?v=XG9ZZE6P…

Learning about the temple sacrificies in #DafYomi, with the kohen gadol running around doing schita, the volume was such that the chagim were a real bloodbath.
