The Best Motto

Gd, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannon change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

You woke up this morning - Congratulations! You got another chance!

Oh German, the language of love! With which segment of population was thing song popular? Mongolian-Germans or German-Mongolians?

You missed the joke, my friend:) That melody is a very popular wedding song with a certain segment of our people

Really? I don't believe I ever heard it before.

Yea, right. It's "Yidden, Yidden". I remember when I gave it to listen to one of my former co-workers, she was so exited. I believe her exact words were:" Oh, it's Yidden, Yidden. Are they singing in Yiddish?"

At least I am not the only one griping about "unoriginality" of some of the songs. na-na-na this is really funny oy-oy-oy.

Oh, I have been griping about it for years; I remember deeply shocking one of my dates when I told him that I do not like "jewish" music.
