New York - Where Even Non-Jews Get to Sound Anti-Semitic as Long as They're Trying to Be Funny (And They Promise They Don't Mean It)

We're beginning to think that maybe we're becoming a little obsessive:

The Mitzvah Tank is following me around... Today the Heebmobile is parked in Times Square, crankin' out the krazy klezmer hits... I was raised Catholic, but I flirted with convertin' for a looong time. (That's what makes me the "Charlotte" among my friends. But the fact that I have a baby makes me the "Miranda!" So my best girlfriends call me "Charanda." Isn't that cute?!)

Yes, very cute. Now stop using the word Heeb.
While you might think that flippantly sounding like a common anti-Semite makes you seem cynical and jaded, the rest of us end up thinking that you're just trying to hard. And that, motek, is soooo unsophisticated.
Listen: it's not that we don't get the joke. We cracked your code - really we did. It's just that this little "look how confident I am - I can call relgious Jews Heebs" thing just isn't funny.
