Your thinly veiled bigotry never ceases to amaze me.
I too wish you were smart enough to understand that never in the history of the world (or the hereafter) have Matzoh Balls been served up in a sandwich on Rye Bread. If you've ever had a well made Matzoh Ball in a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, you'ld know for certain that it would be found on any heavenly menu.
-- That phrase came to me in the USMC from my best fried, Lennie Teitelbaum-- being of the Jewish Faith, he knew, and even explained to me, what a matzoh meal was- it was his Yiddish humor in his own spin- first off- St. Peter is NOT of this world- being a Catholic even I know that- so the scenario is set for a form of what the Hindu might call a "Koan" a riddle set in an illogical scenario. I have been a guest in his home several times in Long beach, enjoyed great food and humor. If he were reading this- he would no doubt laugh and add- "So, whaddare ya- schmuck with earlaps already?" The ability to laugh at either the world or ones self in harsh surroundings has been one of many reasons for the survival of the Jewish faith over eons- in spite of pogroms and the horrors of the Holocaust- you want an example (already?)-- Mel Brooks is as kosher as they come- see his great spoof movie "Springtime for Hitler"-- or for an great example, following WW1 in Englasnd and the 1924 Olympics held in Paris- "Chariots of fire" and the star runner Abrahms- all the snide comments couldn't deter him, even from the idiot Prince of Wales- "well, do the best you can, Abrahams, that's all we can expect"--

You owe me and my friend an apology, but Hell will most likely freeze over and Gabriel will be pouring Guinness from a stirrup cup before that happens- now try to find something anti-Semetic in that if you can. And in closing, Lennie's favorite phrase with the coming Christmas Holidays- "Be sure to deck those halls with matzoa balls" !!
