A Passover Miracle

(Sherman Oaks)  A charosis-related incident broke out Sunday morning, around 10-ish, in the palatial estate of the Short Jewish Gal, when she lost her grip on a jumbo bottle of Manishewitz and splattered sweet sticky wine all over the kitchen counter.  Spillage in the home of the SJG is a near-daily occurrence, but the spillage in question was different from other spillages, in that the nice new laptop took a cup intended for Elijah.  "Eff!  Eff! Eff!" echoed throughout the neighborhood, as she  attempted to mop up the Great Early Bird Passover Mishap of 2014.  "Clean up on aisle 5," her husband yelled, heroically, swabbing the nice new laptop with rubbing alcohol.  By some miracle, he saved the MacBook Pro from a trip back to the Genius Bar and a made-up story that wouldn't fly under the best of circumstances: "Listen, it worked, and then it didn't work.  Only God knows why."  In this case, it seems God decided to bless the SJG's nice new laptop with a splash of Passover wine, so it should bring her health and happiness, creativity and monetary gain, kina hora.  "The lesson here is obvious," the SJG told her family, mid-Gefilte.  "Don't cry over spilled Manichewitz." L'chaim to you and yours.  Happy Passover.  And please, keep the cap on the Manichewitz.  It's safer.

  1. Let's see, weren't you just saying, "When it comes to Passover, I can pretty much do what I want." ? Might still be time to take that one back-- maybe consider this a warning.
