*small groan* (my family's known for worse) followed by attempts to find a "better" (i.e. more same-category) oy-worthy pairing (like I said... *g*). It looks like many more than 2 people got this one. :)

I guess I'm one of the two.

Many moons ago, I had bought a book that had a character whose name was based on similar sounding puns, although not Jewish related. The wierd things was, this was a pretty old book, but at the time I read it, Torvill and Dean were making something of a comeback and were in the news. I think TPTB had changed the entry rules of the olympics that year.

So the result was I got the joke, whereas none of my slightly older friends did.
