"I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money. You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition and I do not find anything wrong with that."But, ma, it's okay because he immediately realized how that sounded and fixed it all up by telling the audience:
"I just want to clarify something because I didn't [by] any means want to infer or imply anything about Jews and finances and things," he said. "What I was referring to, ladies and gentlemen, is the accomplishments of the Jewish religion. You've been outstanding business people and I compliment you for that."Yeah, that's better.
Later in the day, he was treated and released for the foot wound. The treatment was complicated because, after injuring the foot, it mysteriously became lodged in his mouth. He had to communicate with the doctors by talking through his ass.
Say "Goodnight", Tommy.
