#3 A Jew in Djibouti one Christmas,
Enjoying a new Chinese business,
Encountered his chaplain.
"Verklempt, eh?" asked Kaplan.
"No, kafir, it's just my strabismus."

Pidgin German and old records usually gets me the gist, but yeah, it'd be fun to do it for real. The catch has always been that crazy alphabet. And laziness. Maybe it's time.
