My daughter-in-law Ruthie makes the best schnitzel but always keeps insisting she does nothing in particular, so I decided to spy on her once when she made the dish, from beginning to end. The result is some friendly troubleshooting for everyone.

The Rosenberg family was on their first trip to Israel and they wanted to do something adventurous so they decided to go skydiving. During the class, Itzik the skydiving instructor was taking questions.

Howie Rosenberg asked, "If our chute doesn't open, and the reserve doesn't open, how long do we have until we hit the ground?"

Itzik looked at Howie and responded straight faced, "The rest of your life."
