In keeping with the strict low brow standards required by the Code of Jewish White Trash (definition: a nice Jewish lower middle class family with a quirky sense of humor living in an upper middle class suburb in a small but comfortable house that is falling apart and is located next to an expressway), I posted a picture of my mom in one of her t-shirts from the ‘70s that she still wears today. As I was thinking this morning about the Share the Love blog awards, I realized that TODAY (Feb. 27!) is the last chance to vote for CUSS for Best Humor. This reminded me of my dad’s Jewish White Trash T-shirt from the early ‘80s that had a cartoon of a trashy hick sitting on a bale of hay and said “Last chance before the freeway.” Only in the last few years did I realize that the woman was a prostitute. (I will try and find a picture of this gem and post it.)
Anyway, to paraphrase the t-shirt hooker’s wisdom, this the last chance to vote for CUSS for Best Humor at the Share the Love blog awards before the freeway. Click here to cast your vote. Thanks!

I wonder if I could find a picture of my mom in the shirt with a giant hot dog on it that said "Hot Diggity Dog?"
ReplyDeleteOf course I voted for ya cuss I wanted to, plus I have been telling everyone, except my mom, to look at your blog. See, I am the Jewish middle-class or lower middle class - I dunno which - you can tell me - coming from upper-middle class parents. Kinda pathetic, but no one told me I'd hafta make money. My aunts and uncles are/were mechanics, car salesmen, and butchers, and my father is a doctah.
ReplyDeleteStill, I'm a teacher and the ball & chain, a goy, is in human services. We can barely afford it, but we manage a house on a busy street in a suburb with good schools. (So, of course: we're rich compared to most of the world, except a lot of other people I see around all of the time.)
Why, oh why, didn't I find law school interesting? Anyway, my Mama, an excellent gal, would nevvah, evah, wear such a t-shirt because it is personal. She is quite lady-like, and I write about George Bush eating my placenta. Still, we get a long great.
As for your mom, she could wear a t-shirt "My daughter doesn't shave her snatch," or something catchy like that.
I hope you win.
