        We knew it was wrong of course…. But we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to cause a fuss.

      Sure, but drunk Brits are the least polite people in the world

      Also a decent summary of the stereotypical Jewish mother and her love of suffering. Also illustrated by the following joke:

      Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

      A: It’s all right, I’ll just sit in the dark.
