I was the only person in the whole theater who laughed when the Mel Brooks Indians rode up and started speaking.
Was I really the only person in a whole theater in Hollywood who recognized Yiddish???
Maybe everyone in Hollywood is an actor?
Heck, I recognized the Yiddish, and I’m second-generation Hillbilly.
You *are* a great comfort. I was the kid who thought I was soooo clueless. Then later on, I found out that the more sophisticated kids were pretending to know which end was up, and that I actually knew wewu because I asked lots of questions. The joke was on me! It’s OK. I still drive people crazy w/questions but I have a glimmer. I have confidence that you grasp much, much more than a glimmer, and I appreciate your FRiendship and all the valuable insights you provide!
