“Does that mean you don’t want to come out and play with me today?” said Stan, sniffing. “Go get Debby and the three of us’ll go out tonight. I don’t have a date and you and that cute wife of yours need to get out more. Also, I figured, maybe Debby could fix me up with a nice Jewish girl from the neighborhood. They’re so much hotter than the kishkes I usually date from Harcum College.”
“Okay, first of all, I’m working now. Also, tonight is the beginning of Passover, so I have to go home for dinner with the in-laws. And, it’s shikse, not kishke. A kishke is what you might have for dinner; shikse is more like desert.” Ben winked and laughed, shaking his head.”
