Book Quote

``Sports?  Another waste of time!  North Korea is making war on South Korea and all these dummkopfs want to know is who won a ball game?  A man jumps up and tries to get the ball in a basket.  He takes a stick and hits the ball so it should go in whole in the ground.  He takes a fatter stick and tries to hit the ball far away.  He grabs a ball and runs with it and other men try to push him down.  A woman would never be so meshugge.  She sees a basket, she fills it with fruit.  She sees a hole she fills it up.  She sees a stick, she puts it someplace out of the way so nobody should trip or get poked in the eye.  Somebody tries to push her down, she calls a policeman"
The fantastic Jewish grandmother in "The Smartest Woman I Know" by Ilene Beckerman.

On that note, Go Riders!!
