Shylock was Jewish?

[BrilloPad]

Villain, I have done thy mother.

OG doth protest too much methinks. Was that Shakespeare?

And what about "First let us kill all the lawyers"? Or was that the promoter of the Dutch Antillies scheme?

[Zigenare]

Please tell me Shakespeare was racist - then he can be banned. It seems being boring is not enough.

Villain, I have done thy mother.

As if to prove a point...

I thought Shylock just referred to a greedy money lender?

I have always hated Shakespeare. Partially caused by being forced to study Merchant of Venice at age 13. Could not wait to get back into mafs lessons.

Which you clearly didn't...

Hamlet "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
Henry VI, Part 2. The full quote is "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".

I enjoyed most of Shakespear - rude, funny. And what teenage boy didn't enjoy watching Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet?

Its a fair cop! I was forced to sit in the classroom. I would have been thinking about maths.

Can girls not enjoy it? I have not studied it - as a teenager or since. But I saw West side story once.

They didn't come for the Israelis last time.

[Amanensia]

They didn't come for the Israelis last time.

They had a good go in 1973.

Didn't do too well, mind.

What about "double dipping"? Is that outlawed now?

No accountant consultations?
