"Always wondered if the ancient Jews had boat shows."
Why yes, yes they did. They were in what was to be Miami and Boca.
There were luxury craft with wall to wall carpeting, a kosher kitchen, extra large closets and the first phones and TV with cable yet already.
The food was to die for. Fresh pastrami, matzoh ball soup, kreplach and noodle kugel. You bass fishermen should be so lucky as to have such a boat.
Of course ancient Jews had boat shows. What they didn't have was a Borscht Belt in which young comics could ply their trade. Therefore they took their boats to Egypt, playing before big houses at Alexandria and Luxor, the precursors to Boca and Miami, the Concord, Grossingers, etc.
They were so funny that they really slayed their audiences - oops, sorry, that was Passover. Right place, wrong time.
Also, during the time of the Jewish uprisings against Roman, led by the Maccabees, their battle cry was not "hoorah" like our troops of today, but it was "Seinfeld, Seinfeld", a cheer that struck terror in the hearts of the enemy. Other Jewish units yelled "Kramer, Kramer" and "Castanza, Castanza", which threw the Roman elephants into a panicked retreat, thus winning the day for Memorah and candle makers.
So you see, yes, we Jews had boats, and the rest is history (Carnivale Lines, the QE II, etc).
"you should be so lucky as to have such a boat"
Only the compass, it's so, so, conflicted. Always getting us lost, I said didn't you ever think to stop and ask for directions? But I'm only your mother, you never listen to me.
And then there's my son, the yacht owner: so one day he puts on a captain's hat and says, "Look, Mom, I'm a captain!" And I say to him, "Son, by you you're a captain. By me you're a captain. But by captains, believe me, you're no captain!"
He's been in analysis ever since. And the boat? Please, don't ask about the boat. A fifty foot long hole in the water, lined with wood, into which he still pours all his money, whatever the psychiatrist doesn't collect.
If Moses ever had such a boat; his mother, she'd sue!
