Two Old Jews

It's Wednesday and I'm going to Wolfgangs with my wife and my true friend Kenny.  We enjoy Wolfgangs because we love the bartenders, the manager, the food, the friends we know and the new friends we are about to meet.  However, the best part of my Wednesdays and Fridays at Wolfgangs is laughing with Kenny.

We consider ourselves two old Jews.  The reason is because we are two old Jews.  We both have that Mel Brooks - Carl Reiner sense of humor.  I say something and Kenny says something funny back - ba rump ba bomp bum.  he says something and I shoot something funny back - ba rump ba bomp bum.

We laugh about almost anything and everything.  Trouble taking a crap at our age is not out of bounds.   having CRS (can't remember shit) makes us laugh.  We meet people at the bar all the time, however five minutes after we meet a person, Kenny will say to me: "what was his name."  I'll think for a few seconds and say back: "I have no clue."  We both get hysterical.

Kenny loves to make shit up.  I love calling him on it.  He meets a new person and starts telling her he is a marathon runner.  Sometimes, he likes to tell them he's ZEN.  I get great pleasure telling the person he is bullshitting: "please don't believe a thing Kenny says."  This gets Kenny all worked up.  He immediately starts defending himself.  "I did run the marathon (he did, but who knows how long ago - he's old you know). 

Then he starts defending his ZENness.  Kenny does have ZEN like qualities, but he's far from a person who lives his entire life like a true ZEN person would live.  The fun for me is challenging him when he makes shit up.  I get hysterical listening to him defending himself to the person next to him that he only met ten minutes ago.

Kenny loves to be an instigator.  he gets great pleasure saying things that gets me in trouble with my wife or someone I meet at the bar.  We love making fun at each other in front of other people.  We get anybody in listening range to laugh at the both of us.

We embarrass each other.  We denigrate each other.  We yell at each other while we are laughing at each other.  When it's over we high five each other and remind ourselves we're just two old Jews.
