3. Worrying


Anxiety is probably the oldest Jewish past-time, and Jews can worry about anything: Their family, their health, their debts, their level of insurance coverage, their choice of laundry detergent, etc.

To a casual observer, a Jew in the street may seem happy and care-free, but underneath the surface they are most likely thinking: Did I tip that waiter too much or not enough? Is this a pimple or a tumor? Did I leave the oven on? Am I giving enough to charity? Will Barack Obama allow Arab terrorists to annihilate Israel? What really is in hot dogs? Are these shoes too big for my feet? Do I look ridiculous? Am I doing everything I can to fight global warming? Should I be flossing twice a day?

I thought about registering this, but figured it's basically the same stuff as "Stuffwhitepeoplelike" except for a few exceptions (i.e. telling everybody they know that they're jewish etc.)
