Showing posts with the label Sarcasm

They Ask me Stupid Questions......

An American Jew, president of a Synagogue, asked he cantor, whom he disliked, how he spent his time.  Since he prayed in the synagogue only on Saturdays what did he do with the rest of his time. "I will show you how I am kept busy.  In the morning, before I can prepare myself, it is eleven o'clock and I have to eat breakfast.  After breakfast I practice singing for two hours.  When I am finished I have lunch.  From three o'clock until supper time my time is taken up hating the president."

Rhetoric?

When Golda Meir began to address the United Nations she started with, "My fellow racists...".   These are called in Hebrew lashon sagay nahir , words which mean the opposite of what they say. Sometimes sarcasm gets the truth across better than being straight forward.
