Day 157: March 25

Happy Pesach.
Or sad Pesach.

Pesach (or Passover): The Jewish Festival in which people celebrate by:
a) eating way too much food, esp. on the first two nights, also known as Seders
b) Saying how much they hate matzah and then proceeding to eat it with every meal (along with potato and meat of some sort. Also tuna sometimes)
c) looking for a bag of 'special' matzah, also known as the afikomen and then receiving money (around $2) for it
d) counting down the days until it is finished
e) eating way too many greens, too much meat, too many potatoes and too much cardboard
f) occasionally having the delicious-ness of chocolate matzah, matzah pizza and egg as matzah
g) explaining to my non-Jewish friends what:
1. Matzah is (Saladas without salt. Edible cardboard)
2. What Pesach is (The festival with lots of matzah)
