Salmon or Lox


On the same day last week, Scotland voted to remain in the U.K. and The Royal Golf Course at St. Andrews voted to admit women. To celebrate everything Scottish I purchased some sliced Scottish salmon to complement some cream cheese. In so doing I was reminded of the time Mrs. Rosenberg went into her Jewish deli and asked for a few slices of lox. The slicer using his scalpel-like blade began cutting a few slices and paused for her approval. She said "Cut -cut" so he sliced a few more and paused for her decision. Again she said "Cut, cut" and he sliced again. It was then she said "I'll take those two". She should have realized how sharp that blade was.
