I just rediscovered this Pandemic cartoon in my phone.



There was a nice article in the New York Times about an exhibit on the history of Jewish Delicatessens at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.   Click HERE and cross your fingers that the NYT will let you read it.



The Skirball exhibit gets its name from the iconic scene in When Harry Met Sally where Meg Ryan, while dining in a deli with Billy Crystal, demonstrates a woman's ability to fake an orgasm.  A lady diner, played by director Rob Reiner's mother, says to the waiter, I'll have what she's having.  I guess if she's Rob Reiner's mother, she must have been Carl Reiner's wife.  Click HERE to view the scene.
