Interrupting your regularly scheduled blogcasting...
I eating lunch today with a couple of my Israeli co-workers, and one them mentioned Ashkelon, and how nice a place it is.
"How far is Ashkelon from Gaza?" I asked.
"One Kassam." he replied, without smiling, without missing a beat.
"Oh."
"We measure distances in Kassams now. Ashkelon is one Kassam, Ashdod - two Kassams, Tel Aviv - three Kassams."
I laughed. We all laughed. What else can you do?
