Article: Jewish Talking Dog

Morty visits Dr. Saul, the veterinarian, and says, "My dog has a problem."

Dr. Saul says, "So, tell me about the dog and the problem."

"It's a Jewish dog. His name is Irving and he can talk," says Morty.

"He can talk?" the doubting doctor asks.

"Watch this!" Morty points to the dog and commands: " Irving , Fetch!"

Irving, the dog, begins to walk toward the door, then turns around and says, "So why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I'm nothing. And you only call me when you want something. And then you make me sleep on the floor, with my arthritis. You give me this fahkahkta food with all the salt and fat, and you tell me it's a special diet. It tastes like dreck! YOU should eat it yourself! And do you ever take me for a decent walk? NO, it's out of the house, a short pish, and right back home. Maybe if I could stretch out a little, the sciatica wouldn't kill me so much! I should roll over and play dead for real for all you care!"

Dr. Saul is amazed, "This is remarkable! So, what's the problem?"

Morty says, "He has a hearing problem! I said 'Fetch,' not 'Kvetch."

Monica, 21, was orphaned because of Africa's war. Despite these trials, she has been a top performing student from Aware Secondary School and will be starting at the university in the near future. She's eager to tell her story to help other students like herself overcome the odds and also get an education. Irene is on staff at Invisible Children's office in Pader, Uganda.

Enter Chill Out by December 19 and you'll have a chance to win grant money and a feature in our nationwide Chill Out webcast. All you need to do is create a two-minute video describing your campus' efforts to Chill Out by December 19.

Around 35% of Peace Corps countries have a language requirement - either 2 years of high school or 1 year of college French or other Romance language, or 4 years of high school or 2 years of college level Spanish.  Even if the country you are nominated or invited to does not require a language, the ability to learn a language in the last ten years is a skill that can make you a more competitive applicant! 

The Foreign Language GlobeTalk is meant for all so make sure to tell your friends!

 

 

Sincerely, 

Ashley
