Me either, but then I am not Jewish so I guess I miss your point?

Sorry about that .. I guess it was a little obtuse.

Righttackle44 said, in 8, "...she don't look arabic."

The picture and the words come from the movie "Cabaret". EmCee (Joel Gray) is dancing and singing with the gorilla, asking the viewers to "see her through my eyes". Throughout the routine, you are led to believe that he's talking about her being a gorilla. The last words of the song are "If you could see her through my eyes ..." and then a slight pause, and then he whispers, "...she wouldn't look Jewish at all," instead commenting on early Nazi-era anti-semitism.

I simply put the two of them together: "she don't look arabic" with the nonsensical "she wouldn't look Jewish at all". It was simply that ... and probably too far afield to make a humorous connection.

Sorry about that.
