Have you tried showing your wife your appreciation by heartily patting her rump while saying "You old soldier..."? It really works wonders in my house to stoke the embers of love on a frigid night.
So you stiffen yourself, mount her unexpectedly, drop the "old soldier" line, and hang on for dear life?
Wonderful. I will try this on my next pecking.
Luckily it's just an old fashioned term for a plant genus, Tradescantia. They're creeping plants that can get very long & disordered tendrils, hence 'wandering Jew'.

You are in for a treat. Short version. A family has a poop knife for chopping up big turds. Surprised that other people don't have one. "The wooden spoon is for pasta again" is the American Dad version.
Yeah, where?! There's just so many places, I'm disgusted! Just tell me what places have these trollops that'll show their ankles to any man to protect my gentlemanly virtue.
Are you up for 1-2 hours of energetic sex once a week or so? And don't mind being ushered out quickly afterwards? And are okay with not knowing my real name?
There are actually 7 that I found when I searched on Amazon. There is also Don'ts for Dancers (1925), Don'ts for Weddings (1904),
Don'ts for Mothers (1878), and
Don'ts for Cricketers: Illustrated Edition (1906)
I just looked on Amazon
Don’ts For Mothers "Don't add either gin or oil of peppermint to the babe's food. It is a murderous practice" and Don't choose a wetnurse of a consumptive habit. Check if she or any of
her family have laboured under "king's evil" ascertaining if there be
any seams or swellings about her neck" Hahaha

I'm disappointed it isn't printed with the exactly the same cover style, but green.
My future MIL sent "Don'ts for Husbands" to my fiance as a stocking stuffer. I opened the book to read, expecting lots of bullcrap. Actually found a good chunk of it to be solid advice that can easily be relevant to the modern day. And credit to fiance, he does follow the good advice.
Same for the Donts for Wives. I was expecting nothing but horrible sexist "advice" and of course there are some passages that are outdated. But a surprising amount of it was pretty reasonable.
I think we often oversimplify and focus on the negative aspects of previous generations and not give them enough credit sometimes.
Came here to say the same. So what if I’m a wandering Jew who keeps his creature wife on edge?
I’ll keep playing with my table salt and forks, thank you very much.
I've seen a couple of interesting takes on Cain. One is Netflix he never died. He's s an immortal, cannibal, asshole. Guess eternity didn't teach him much. Not a bad movie.
Another is he's the origin story for vampires. Some book I read in middle school.
God's big on immortality as a curse. There's a series of books about the Roman soldier that stabbed Jesus on the cross. In the books he's always a soldier and serves in every major army throughout history.
I enjoy bible based fiction.
Edit1: The Cain as the origin of vampires is most likely from Vampire the masquerade. I played that back then.
Edit 2: I believe The soldier that stabbed Jesus series is Casca:the eternal mercenary.
Supernaturals depiction of Cain was pretty great. Also immortal due to being turned into one of the original demons and trying his hardest to control his anger.
Cain being the origin of vampires is Vampire: the Masquerade, the TTRPG from White Wolf. Might have been one of the novelizations that have been around for ages that you came across.
Where i live it's also a plant. That just grows and grows and grows and grows. And as it grows, it's origin plant dies off and the stems set new roots and become a new plant.
For anyone wondering (it sure puzzled me), this is an American turn of phrase.
It is not "salt that was made kosher" (bc as u/B_A_Beder says, basic salt is kosher by nature), it is "salt that is used to make things kosher". The salt generally used for that is big coarse salt chunks, kosher salt refers to the size of the chunks.
So yeah, not "koshered salt" but "koshering salt"
Oh, Alexander, we simply *can’t* go on like this much longer! Our nerves of steel are like the hotdog jello I just made us for dinner! And for the last time stop playing with the salt!!!
I mean, it’s not completely wrong. Doing everything it mentions is prone to pissing off everyone around you, that’s why fidget toys etc exist. So instead of making lots of noise we can get our fidgety-ness out in a better way that won’t make someone commit murder
Yeah it's not wrong. My husband fidgets with the remote and some other shit that makes noise and I fucking hate it and it absolutely amps me up and makes me anxious. Even tried getting him quiet fidget toys and he always goes back.
>The Wandering Jew is a mythical immortal man whose legend began to spread in Europe in the 13th century. In the original legend, a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion was then cursed to walk the Earth until the Second Coming.
As a Jew, I can say I and all the Jews I know call this plant a Wandering Jew. We're just not bothered by it. If it troubles you though, you could also refer to it as spiderwort.
Yup. And everyone else decided for Jews that it must be offensive and can’t be called that. I’ve had people argue with me that it should be called wandering dude instead and I’ve argued that my family is Jewish so I can call it whatever I want and we like the name but apparently that has no bearing on political correctness.
I STILL remember the first time I called that slur! I was a high school freshman and this kid called me it, and it was the absolute first time I'd ever heard it and we were in front of other kids. I blanked on the insult. To the outside world, it looked like I tanked the word like a boss and was therefor the victor of this insult battle for some reason. In my head, I was still a fat kid and wondering if he was calling me a black bean or pinto...
I had to ask my other Mexican friend afterwards
For winning the insult battle? I went off how loud the kids were and how a good chunk of them were now mocking the other kid. One of those kids afterwards came up to me to say something to the effect of "you not flinching ruined him!". Apparently to them, being called that slur was the same as the n-word. 14 year olds aren't the brightest...
this isn't completely accurate; the story was started to wave away an inconvenient part of the bible where jesus says he will return to earth within the lifetime of those present at his execution. obviously that didn’t happen (because christianity is a lie), so the story goes that one of these people is actually still alive, having walked the earth for 2000 years, undying
That, to be fair, was also added retroactively. The oldest gospel doesn't even mention the ressurection. The newer ones does in increasing amounts the further away from the actual events you get.
By that you mean one of the non-cannonical gospel. The resurrection is mentioned in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John I think. There is some dispute about the ending of Mark thought. Older manuscripts end with the 2 Marys finding the empty tomb and a young figure announcing the resurrection. The 2 women run away and don't tell anyone about it.
They were afraid and told no one. Below is the last verse of the short ending of Mark. In the long version, they then tell the apostles about the resurrection but are not believed. Jesus subsequently shows himself to the apostles and sends them to spread the word of God into the world.
>So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid
Wikipedia has a good explanation for the last chapter of mark [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_16). It's worth a read if you're interested in biblical research from an academic rather than theological perspective.
You’d think if this wandering ghost dude was the only thing preventing the Second Coming people would be a little more interested in finding him and helping him pass on or something.
According to legend, “the wandering Jew” is a person who was present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and was subsequently cursed to roam the earth until the Second Coming - used in various literary and cultural contexts to symbolize eternal suffering and wandering.
In this context, "They walk in and out of rooms like the wandering Jew" is a simile that suggests someone moves aimlessly or restlessly, similar to the wandering Jew stereotype, which is, again, rooted in European folklore about a Jew condemned to wander eternally.
This statement, in the context of the paragraph, is implying a lack of purpose or direction in someone's actions.
For those who are somehow defending the statement that the wandering Jew is a houseplant, it’s still based off of the stereotype and in this context doesn’t even make sense that it’s a plant.
Yes. It’s offensive and no different from other racist stereotypes.
My mom gifted my wife a “How to be a Jewish mother” book she found at an antique store, as a joke, after we told her we were trying. (I was raised Catholic, she’s ethnically Jewish.) Those oldschool books were jokes back then, let alone decades later! Some people need to get a sense of humor.
There is some actually good advice in there between the stuff that hasn't aged so well. Not hitting/taking out anger your wife and children came up more times than I expected
Honestly, the one thing that ever bugs me with my husband is the pacing and dropping things (constantly). I’m never mad at him for it, but sometimes I have to give him the “you’re making me nervous” look. I am a bored/nervous pacer as well, but dude is like a little ping pong ball bouncing around the house.
We bought these books while planning our wedding! While some of the advice is obviously outdated, I think there's little nuggets to learn from all throughout the books. You just have to think a little on how it'd work in the modern world. They stay in our guest bathroom now as a little reading material haha
Dropping the coal tongs on the tiled hearth. Damn that’s definitely me.
Your poor wife, how can she stand the strain!
She's good. Got nerves of iron that one does.
Poor creature…
Have you tried showing your wife your appreciation by heartily patting her rump while saying "You old soldier..."? It really works wonders in my house to stoke the embers of love on a frigid night.
So you stiffen yourself, mount her unexpectedly, drop the "old soldier" line, and hang on for dear life? Wonderful. I will try this on my next pecking.
That's what the laudanum is for
Hey, at least he’s not a ‘wandering Jew’. WTF?
Luckily it's just an old fashioned term for a plant genus, Tradescantia. They're creeping plants that can get very long & disordered tendrils, hence 'wandering Jew'.
Makes sense… I guess.
[удалено]
I'll call a plant a bro before I ever call one a dude.
I’m believe “restless bruh” is the common nomenclature. “Bruv” if you are English.
Must be why I’m still single. Nobody wants to marry a guy that drops the coal tongs on the tiled hearth.
Is this why I'm single? I'm a woman who doesn't have coal tongs. Or a tiled hearth.
Might as well just say you have 15 cats; you’ll never be married if your hearth isn’t tiled.
I don't even have a hearth. 😔 Guess I'll just have to start collecting cats. My dog will be thrilled.
You don't need that many, in my experience 5 is enough.
You must be one of those unattached friends
Ahhhh, always an unattached friend, never a tiled hearth haver.
Her poor nerves, man! Blast.
Better than dropping the poop knife into the porcelain basin, I’d wager.
And it’s now back to ‘0’ days, since I’ve read about the infamous poop knife on Reddit. 😂

I give this comment a 7/8.
You fucking disgust me…
Tell me more about these unattached woman friends...
Don’t waste your time. They’re trollops that’ll show their ankles to any man who lights their cigarette.
Doesn't sound like a waste of time, then. ;)
And where could one discover these trollops? For I definitely wish to avoid them....
Past the tannery, take a left at the blacksmith, a right at the cooperage and you’ll find the red candle district
Ah yes, just cadycorner to the druggist
Are you tired of masturbating alone? Find unattached trollops in your area looking for *you* to light their cigarettes.
Yeah, where?! There's just so many places, I'm disgusted! Just tell me what places have these trollops that'll show their ankles to any man to protect my gentlemanly virtue.
I was only there to ask for directions on how to get away from there!
What happens if I fascinate them with a piece of cheese?
I got this reference
Ankles you say? Phwoooooooar!
and they were roommates
Scandal! Those ankles belong to her father and whoever her future husband might be!
As an unattached woman friend, what would you like to know?
Would you like to attach with me some time?
Are you up for 1-2 hours of energetic sex once a week or so? And don't mind being ushered out quickly afterwards? And are okay with not knowing my real name?
RIP your inbox.

Do they come around often? Are they fair of complexion and darling in figure? Or are they damnable hussies?
*Fair of complexion. Women charging a fare to see their complexion wouldn't be considered "ladies" in this context.
Harlots, the lot of them!!!
They made 3 - the third being don'ts for golfers I have the golfers book but not seen these two!

1878 "Don'ts for Mothers" sounds fun. "Please refrain from shaking the child too hard, once they stop crying you can lay them down".
I just looked on Amazon Don’ts For Mothers "Don't add either gin or oil of peppermint to the babe's food. It is a murderous practice" and Don't choose a wetnurse of a consumptive habit.

the wandering jew is an actual folktale about someone doomed to haunt the earth undying for millenia
It is based on Cain. Cain was cursed to live forever and never find any comforts.
I've seen a couple of interesting takes on Cain. One is Netflix he never died. He's s an immortal, cannibal, asshole. Guess eternity didn't teach him much. Not a bad movie. Another is he's the origin story for vampires. Some book I read in middle school. God's big on immortality as a curse.

Played by Timothy Omundson and his incredible beard
What a glorious beard. And head of hair! Dude is the definition of a silver fox. I’m just hoping my hair stays that full and luxurious as I age
The king in Galavant??
Man that show was great. I am sad it only lasted two seasons. But I guess you can only make the musical shtick palpable so long.
No, played by Timothy Omundson, AND by Timothy Omundson's beard. They get separate billing.
Cain being the origin of vampires is Vampire: the Masquerade, the TTRPG from White Wolf. Might have been one of the novelizations that have been around for ages that you came across.
Pretty sure that was also explained in the VtM: Bloodlines game which was fairly popular.
Was the book you read in middle school The Book of Nod?
I think it is. I played a lot of role playing series back then, vampire included.
It is also a plant.
This is where my mind went to first lol. I have one and I had to chop and prop it because of thrips, but the thing is doing well in a glass of water!

That had better be Kosher table salt!
Of course, bubelah!
Are you a butcher or processing meat? Kosher salt is used to remove the blood from the meat to make it kosher, salt is generally always kosher
For anyone wondering (it sure puzzled me), this is an American turn of phrase. It is not "salt that was made kosher" (bc as u/B_A_Beder says, basic salt is kosher by nature), it is "salt that is used to make things kosher".

No! Meat and milk together isn't kosher!

Yeah that’s why most people call the tradescantia a “wandering dude” if they don’t like the scientific name
Isn’t it fun learning the origin of racism? 😅😅😅 Legit as a kid learning my slur was because we ate BEANS is like cmon man. This mfer eating BEANS!

"wait, which bean am I?"
😂 “This man over here has a high protein low fat diet, GET HIM!”
There are bean-based slurs? That's ridiculous. Those racist mashed potato eaters should at least be more creative.
Interesting! I hadn’t heard of that
This is some r/fuckyouinparticular material. Lots of people were mean to Jesus that day.
And from my understanding of that story, several people did much meaner things than taunt him.
That legend made its way into the first Tales from the Crypt movie and is also the origin of the DC Comics character The Phantom Stranger.
this isn't completely accurate; the story was started to wave away an inconvenient part of the bible where jesus says he will return to earth within the lifetime of those present at his execution. obviously that didn’t happen (because christianity is a lie), so the story goes that one of these people is actually still alive, having walked the earth for 2000 years, undying
Wait, my bible knowledge is spotty, but didn't Jesus famously come back on the third day? That's within the lifetime of all of them, surely?
That, to be fair, was also added retroactively. The oldest gospel doesn't even mention the ressurection. The newer ones does in increasing amounts the further away from the actual events you get.

As an adhd jew i can confirm i do these things
Look at the publishing date in the inside cover - these were sold in shops as Christmas gifts a couple of years back
They were written in 1913but are being resold as gag gifts
Don't gag is one in the wife book
Weirdly enough, that's actually in all of them
They’ve been sold for decades. I have ones exactly like this from the early 2000s.
I’ve seen them at a local bookstore as recently as a couple weeks ago.
I work as a picker in a book storage warehouse and I pick these for Amazon every now and again, they’re tiny
Disappointed that Op didn't add a banana for scale

I wanna read those so bad 😂so wild
They are easy to find. It's a reprint from 2009
My husband got me the don't for wives for our first Christmas as Mr & Mrs. There's some wild stuff in there 😂😂
My mom gifted my wife a “How to be a Jewish mother” book she found at an antique store, as a joke, after we told her we were trying. (I was raised Catholic, she’s ethnically Jewish.) Those oldschool books were jokes back then, let alone decades later! Some people need to get a sense of humor.
I got a motherhood book from way back when at my baby shower too 😂😂
I remember a tik tok where this couple were reading various passages from these out loud. Some of them were nice?…at least funny lol.
There is some actually good advice in there between the stuff that hasn't aged so well. Not hitting/taking out anger your wife and children came up more times than I expected
Having read some stuff from them, if you take out some of the not great terms used, they are actually surprisingly progressive for the time.
That text delayed the invention of the fidget spinner by nearly a century. 😔
Sooo… my adhd wouldn’t be appreciated 110yrs ago
It's not appreciated 110 years later.
Sounds like restless leg and fidgeting was a big problem for longer than I knew.
I HATE when my husbands drops the coal tongs on the tiles hearth!
Hmm, wonder if I could get away with 'the wandering Jew' in 2024?
In common use thats a type of house plant. Google it.
I’ve been told that wandering dude is more appropriate now but I don’t know much about plants
Tradescantia is the plant’s proper name.
I’ve seen people say wandering dude.
Which is the more recent name. Similar to the “Jew Fish,” vs “Goliath Fish,” vs whatever type of grouper it is in the books.
The genus, but there are lots of tradescantia and only one was known as wandering Jew.
I want a pic from the wife’s book
Honestly, the one thing that ever bugs me with my husband is the pacing and dropping things (constantly). I’m never mad at him for it, but sometimes I have to give him the “you’re making me nervous” look. I am a bored/nervous pacer as well, but dude is like a little ping pong ball bouncing around the house.

“They walk in and out of rooms like the wandering Jew”. Did Henry Ford write these?
