So punny.

Jess works at a non-Kosher Jewish deli in the most civilized a suburb of Boston.  They sell tee-shirts, which the servers also wear, that sport punny phrases taken from menu-items, Yiddish, and general Jewish culture. She came up with a phrase that made it onto a shirt shortly after starting there: "Thanks a latke!"

"It's my first published work," she likes to say. 

We were talking last night about a customer who went on and on about his idea to have local schoolchildren compete in a tee-shirt phrase contest and have the restaurant feature the winner on an actual tee-shirt. This, of course, led to a swap of fun ideas of our own.  Here are my latest:

- Hash or credit?
- Honorable menschion
- Don't menschion it
- In the blink of a rye
- Kugel maps
- Slaw and Order
- Griddle me this
- Pickle and dimed
- Under lox and key

So if social work doesn't pay...
