Holger,

HG>HG>Whatever you do, never invite a jew to a Ham Dinner.

HG>DS>   There are hams in Israel, though. ;)

HG>Yes sure but they don't eat ham!

  I tell folks at ham radio license exam sessions, when they pass their
exam "WINNER!! WINNER!! CHICKEN DINNER!!"...then add "We don't like to
say "HAM", because it makes us look cannibalistic (hi hi).

  According to Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's dummy (ventriloquial figure),
"your name is offensive...Dun-Ham"!! 

  He's doing a show in central Arkansas in early February, but with the
price of tickets from $50 to $200 a pop, I'll wait until it comes out on
YouTube.

  It's like the price of some ham radio gear...I don't know where these
gear manufacturers got the idea that "hams are loaded with money". It's
more like the cartoon, where the robber tries to hold up this guy, and
he's told "You're wasting your time...I'm a ham".
