There's literally nothing to lose.
You're going to get 20% off.
And if you don't like it within 30 days, just tell them, Hey, this wasn't for me.
You're getting your money back and nothing is going to be lost except obviously the flakes on your shirt that you've been brushing away.
So look, take care of the roots, get better hair.
Your black shirts are actually going to be black again.
The itch on your scalp is gone.
That's the flakes promise.
Now let's get back to the show.
But I think that also contributes because, like, this is my theory as to, like, why so many stand-up comedians are Jewish.
Because, like, it is such a, in my opinion, comedy is, like, a very Jewish art form.
Like, the Borscht Belt, like, Catskillian, Upstate New York, like, go to a, you know, a summer camp and you entertain, like, your people when they all leave the city.
And all, like, Henny Youngman and, you know, Milton Berle, all, like, these famous Jewish comedians.
And I think it's a mixture of, like, being integrated into a culture but not fully being integrated
But in the way that like, you know, black people have an outside perspective and they make great comedians as well.
People see them and they might behave differently because you know, oh, this guy's black.
So like, I'll speak differently.
You don't fully get, specifically back in the day, you don't fully get a transparent view into white American society, but Jews did as long as they didn't know you were Jewish.
And so if they don't know, then they're talking regular and there's an observation of American culture, but still with a Jewish lens that kind of puts you on the periphery.
