Friday May 13th was the 155th anniversary of Sigmund Freud's circumcision.
Be that as it may.
In a Seinfeld episode from the fall of 1993, The Bris (The Circumcision), Jerry and his pals are invited to the circumcision of a friend's newborn. Elaine is assigned the task of finding a mohel, the individual who performs the circumcision.
_______________
Elaine: A mohel! What the hell is a mohel?
Jerry: A mohel is the person who performs the circumcision.
Elaine: Where am I going to find a Mohel? (LOOKING THROUGH THE YELLOW PAGES, MUTTERING) How do you find a mohel? Motels, models . . .
Jerry: Oh, finding a Mohel is a piece of cake. Any idiot can find a Mohel. I have the tough job. I have to hold the baby while they do it. How would you like that job?
Elaine: Have you ever seen one?
Jerry: You mean that wasn't --
Elaine: Yeah.
Jerry: No . . . you?
Elaine: Ya.
Jerry: What'd you think?
Elaine: (SHAKES HER HEAD) No . . .
Jerry: Not good?
Elaine: No, had no face, no personality, very dull. It was like a martian. But hey, that's me.

I should have been a kosher butcher like my brother. You make a mistake with a cow, you move on with your life!
