Marv: “And that brisket at the dining room last night—Feh!”
Estelle: “Quit the kvetching, Marv. Barka Raton is paradise compared to Jersey.”

Marv: “Well. No told me there was gonna be no decent deli in Florida.”

MUST. GO. THERE. Have deli meat will travel.
TRUE STORY I HEARD JUST THIS MORNING: My dad and stepmother were dining in Coral Springs , and could hear the conversation of an older couple at the next table. Mrs. was telling Mr. “Don’t worry, darling, just breathe into a paper bag, and when we get home, I’ll give you an enema.”
BWAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!!
oy!
aww, honeymooners.
1: Ahhhh, the romance of Florida.
2: Theresa, if these are your relatives, I’m beginning to understand the underlying philosophy & psychology that are yours.
(wow).
Erm, it was my relatives who OVERHEARD this exchange. Really. Honest.
**OOPS ME SO CWUMSY**SOWWY**
(oops; just read your note more-carefully. The People of Enema were *sitting near* your relatives. So I’ll moderate my understanding of your P&P
)
Related: The term “enema” is “playing happily” with the Transmogrifier/ Big Green Moderashun Machine??????
I don’t like enemas. I do like schnauzers and visors and deli meat.
Especially deli meat.
No Schnauzers in that pool. Just little Welsh Terriers.
Hahahaha.
oh. mine. gods.
Theresa: first genuine laugh I’ve had all day. Thanks!
The leetle visors!!!
I LIVE IN FLA and nobody gave ME a leetle primary-colored visor.
(pouts in the corner)
It’s because you don’t have leetle ears that will flop over the top . . . of course I may be making an incorrect assumption here . . .
Very interesting analysis. Your assumption, that I haven’t got leetle ears that will flop over, is actually correct!!!
I nebber thought of that.
Ah, but did anyone give you an enema?
(yeeps)
(runs away)
That thought is enough to keep me from ever visiting Florida!!
O No – “I LIVE IN FLA”… Don’t tell me your over sixty, if so, I will have to change my mental image of you
Nope, I’m under that speed limit, and will be under it for numerous years to go
Hope the mental image doesn’t include a strait-jacket?
LOL @ [float float float]
I laughed at that . . . you can just hear the sounds of birds, gentle splishy splash sounds of Estelle kicking a wee bit to correct the direction of her floating, and an occasional “HAACKKKK” of Marv clearing his throat.
re. the “occasional “HAACKKKK” of Marv clearing his throat.”…..
(ahem) thanks for adding such lovely dimension to the story!!!
JK!!

Me too! Just the right number of floats too.
Why do I get the feeling Pepper and Pippa sit patiently by the side of the pool everyday until their human gets their little floats ready?
Marv it’s 3:00 p.m. time to get out of the pool and get ready for the early-bird buffet. If we’re not one of the first in line those meshuggah dobermans from down the street will eat all of the kugel and whitefish salad. Then I’ll have to listen to you kvetch about what schnorrers they are!
Look at the punims on those little guys!
Not bad for a goyem huh?
Extra points for using “meshuggeh.” Your parents would kvell.
You guys qwack me up!
shaynuh maydehleh you’re ichaboodle in the keppielach gey koken clop kup en vont i’m gonna plotz. can’t make this crap up. my grandma lives in century village.
I’m sure you give her such naches like you wouldn’t believe. Oh, how she kvells!
Please. I’m kvelling over here. These funny comments are eating my kishkas out! I have such shpilkas in my gehnekdagazoint. I can’t sit still!
cubbybutt: Wait, what?
Translation:
Pretty girl you’re crazy in the head go crap in the ocean or bang your head against the wall. I’m gonna faint.
These are the things you hear when you have a bubbie (Jewish grandma).
Oy Gevalt ! Marvin sounds just like my grandmother used to !
She was a harsh judge of brisket since my grandfather worked at Canter’s deli in L.A. for a couple of decades.
Does anyone in the meshpooka know what breed of doggie Pepper and Pippa are? Are they really schnauzers?
Nah they’re most likely Welsh Terriers. Extremely smart and determined breed.
Hi, They are airedales. I also have two but mine are somewhat bigger and they don’t especially like water. They like to wade and they love a boat ride. I can only assume that these two think they are on a boat. They have great personalities if you are not a control freak.
Actually, I think they are Welsh terriers, which look like little Airedales but are only about 15-17 pounds. We lost our Welshie this summer at 16 years of age. Great dogs (and totally wild terriers!)
Ah, Florida. Rednecks in the north, retired northerners through the middle and Cubans in the south. Not a single good driver on the whole peninsula.
(I kid. You know we love ya up here in Georgia)
You live in North Florida and I live in South Georgia

Words from another goy: They look more like airedales (sp?) than schnauzers. I LOL at them floating in the pool. They do look as if they wait for their little floaties every day. I especially love the visors!
Float float float just killed me dead with laughter.
They look like they might be Welsh Terriers. Either way… they’re super cute!
Oh my goodness, these pups are so cute! The little visors just kill me…
“And that brisket at the dining room last night—Feh!”
“Yes, and the portions are so small!”
@Shelley Noble These are definitely Airedale puppies. Best (and craziest) dogs in the world!
Barka Raton: Ha! That alone was enough t make me crack up. (Thanks, Marley and Me.)
Boca Raton usually convulses me.

one uv me “leetle frehns” (think Al Pacino in “Scarface”) used to refer to a famous city in South Florida as “Fort Lah-dee-dah”!!!
Marv “and the gefilte fish; more like bupkes”!
As I hate winter, those Florida temperatures, sure look tempting.
Hon Glad: My dad lives there half the year. There are advantages– nice produce, and a nice patio to lie in the sunshine with a good book and a mojito.
Nice to be near the Everglades and see lovely birds and gators, etc. I look forward to it every year. But a few days is really enough. Something about it down there seems to make people a little batty (present company excepted, ON
*waves at Theresa and Hon Glad (opposite directions)*
Wha’ happens is, we only go batty, aka bonkers, at certain “select”
parts of the year. For me, it’s duiring Swelter Season, High August & September, when both the temperature and the humidity are over 90 … (gah.)
The Frozen Tundra — or the freezer in the kitchen — begins lookin’ MIGHTY FRIENDLY at that time of year …..
Psh. Only 90? Don’t start complainin’ til it hits triple digits, baby.
But yes, I know what you mean.
Love Love LOVE!!!!
These are far more likely to be cute little Welshies, as Airedales are GINORMOUS! Those would have to be much bigger floats to hold adult Airedales. Then again, they could be puppies… But I imagine they are just Welsh terriers…and SO freaking cute!!!
I remember being surprised when I moved to FL how many people filled in their pools. After a couple of years of constant maintenance, I get it.
I’d have kept it for two floaty mates like that.
Did anyone else totally google image search dogs wearing visors?
classy dogs, who put them up to this?
My goodness. It’s my Aunt Martha and her friend Betty!
It’s been a long time, but if I’m not mistaken, don’t those numbers at the bottom mean these were shot with… film?
Is that still a thing?
*snerk*
It’s getting harder to find these days, that’s for sure.
Actually living in Boca.. I can attest to it’s elder majority and the high percentage of Yiddish speakers. : ) Oh, Marv.
BUT.. we have fantastic delis. Ev.er.y.wh.er.e.
I imagine there must be awesome delis. You have all of the New York Jews living there! (I’m a New York Jew. I can attest to that, though my parents’ house is in Sarasota
)
Cat, I always knew how much you love Dexter, so CUTE, ru
Airedales….the coloring and all. And they’re Airdale puppies…that’s why they don’t look so large. trust me, I see Airedales enough to know.
