If kraut is so sour, why does sweet potato like him so much?

Isn't it mentioned in the well-known round that goes "Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques, odor-mez vous, odor-mez vous?"

So, is the basis of this rhyme a lack of hygiene among monks, or the overripe brie that they concealed under their robes?

Couldn't it just be the result of eating garlic?

But if they belch after eating garlic wouldn't that violate the vow of silence?

But isn't belching a sin, and couldn't they expiate it by copying a holy manuscript by hand over the next 10 years?

Why couldn't they sneak in a Gutenberg press into the monastery and speed up the process?

Is that the same Manny Gutenberg who will press your pants in an hour and throw in a lot of corny jokes in the bargain?

Isn't it the Manny Gutenberg who runs a deli and makes the best pastrami sandwiches in New York?

Are you sure that's not the same Manny Gutenberg who owns a garment factory on 34th St. where you can buy a plastic rain hat at wholesale prices?

Isn't it more likely to be the Manny Gutenberg who runs a ticket agency and can get you cut-rate tickets to Broadway shows?

Is it possible that it's the same Manny Gutenberg who's a retired stand-up comic who tragically is now a lie-down hospital patient?

Couldn't it be the Manny Gutenberg who moved to a retirement community in Florida and gets around in an adult tricycle?

Are you positive that it's not the same Manny Gutenberg, the one-man band who plays at weddings and Bar-Mitzvahs, who's renowned for his stirring rendition of Lara's theme from Dr. Zhivago?
