. . . and most of the Jews I know, and I know a lot of them, aren't
particularly sensitive to pork in their diet.  For most, it seems more like
the no mean on Friday that used to be the rule for Catholics.  When it was
convenient, it was OK.  When it wasn't convenient . . . well, it wasn't
convenient.
