Start Worrying: Details to Follow : An Insider's… di Albert Vorspan

OK, I admit that I don't get all the jokes, but I certainly get many of them. Would have been helpful to have a Yiddish glossary in the back since some I simply didn't understand because of that reason. I think that the underlying message in this is to always have a sense of humour because that is what is going to get you through the tough times. I can't say I don't agree, as I do. I think that might be my biggest "Jewish" trait. I have to laugh to keep myself from crying.
