And now, some more humor – thanks to Diane Gold for forwarding this version of a comedy classic:

ABBOTT & COSTELLO LEARN HEBREW,

by  Rabbi Jack Moline


   ABBOTT: I see you’re here for your Hebrew lesson.
   COSTELLO: I’m ready to learn.

        A:  Now, the first  thing you must understand is that  Hebrew and English  have many words which  sound alike, but they do not mean the same thing.
        C:  Sure, I  understand.
   A:  Now, don’t be too quick to say that.
        C:  How stupid do you  think I am?  Don’t answer that. It’s  simple -some  words in Hebrew sound like words  in English, but they don’t mean the same.
        A:  Precisely.
        C:  We have that word  in English, too. What does it
              mean in Hebrew?
        A:  No, no.  Precisely is an English word.
        C:  I didn’t come here to learn English, I came to
               learn Hebrew. So start with the Hebrew.
        A: Fine. Let’s start with mee.
        C:  You?
 A:  No, mee.
        C:  Fine, we’ll start with you.
        A:  No, we’ll start with mee.
        C:  Okay, have it your way.
     A:  Now, mee is who.
        C:  You is Abbott.
        A:  No, no, no.  Mee is who.
        C:  You is Abbott.
        A:  You don’t understand.
        C:  I don’t understand? Did you just say me is who?
        A:  Yes I did. Mee is who.
        C:  You is Abbott.
   A:  No, You misunderstand what I am saying. Tell me
               about mee.
        C:  Well, you’re a nice enough guy.
        A:  No, no. Tell me about mee!
        C:  Who?
        A:  Precisely.
   C:  Precisely what?
        A:  Precisely who.
        C:  It’s precisely whom!
        A:  No, mee is who.
        C:  Don’t start that again. Go on to something else.
        A:  All right. Hu is he.
 C:  Who is he?
        A:  Yes.
        C:  I don’t know. Who is he?
        A:  Sure you do.  You just said it.
        C:  I just said what?
        A:  Hu is he.
        C:  Who is he?
        A:  Precisely.
        C:  Again with the precisely! Precisely who?
   A:  No, precisely hee.
        C:  Precisely he? Who is he?
     A:  Precisely!
        C:  And what about me?
        A:  Hu.
 C:  Me, me, me!
        A:  Hu, hu, hu!
        C:  What are you, an owl? Me! Who is me?
        A:  No, hu is he!
        C:  I don’t know. Maybe  he is me!
        A:  No, hee  is she!
        C:  (STARES AT  ABBOTT) Do his parents know about this?
        A:  About what?
        C:  About her!
        A:  What about her?
        C:  That she is he!
        A:  No, you’ve got it wrong. Hee is she!
     C:  Then who is he?
        A:  Precisely!
        C:  Who?
   A:  He!
        C:  Me?
        A:  Hu!
        C:  He?
        C:  She!
        C:  Who is she?
        A:  No, hu is he.
        C:  I don’t care who is  he, I want to know who is she?
   C:  No, that’s not  right.
        C:  How can it  not be right? I said it. I was  standing
              here when I said it,  and I know me.
 A:  Hu.
        C:  Who?
        A:  Precisely!
        C:  Me! Me is that he you are talking about! He is me!
        A:  No, hee is she!
        C:  Wait a Minute, wait a minute! I’m trying to learn
 a little Hebrew,  and  now I can’t even speak
               English.  Let me review.
        A:  Go ahead.
        C:  Now first you want to know me is who.
        A:  Correct.
        C:  And then you say who is he.
        A:  Absolutely.
        C:  And then you tell me he is she.
A & C:  Precisely!
        C:  Now look at this logically. If me is who. And
              who is he.  And he is she.  Don’t it stand to
              reason that me is she?
        A:  Who?
        C: She!
        A:  That is he!
        C:  Who is he?
A & C:  Precisely!
        C:  I have just about had it. You have me confused
              I want to go home.  You  know what I want? Ma!
        A:  Hu.
        C:  I said Ma.
        A:  What.
 C:  What are you, deaf? I want Ma!
        A: What!
        C:  Not what, who!
        A:  He!
        C:  Not he! Ma is not he!
 A:  Of course not! Hu is he!
        C:  I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t care. I don’t
              care who is he, he  is  she, me is who, ma is what.
              I just want to go home now and play with my  dog.
        A:  Fish.
        C:  Fish?
        A:  Dag is fish.
        C:  That’s all, I’m outa here.<o:p></o:p>
