The final installment in our survey of the things that just "feel" Jewish, and those that don't.

Well, dear readers, here it is! The third and final part of our VERSUS "trilogy." But unlike The Godfather, where parts one and two make you geshrei (scream) in "joy," and part three in "oy," in typical Jewlarious style, we've maintained our impeccable standards.

Like Solomon, we've "divided." Half is "Jewish vs. Goyish," half – "Goyish vs. Jewish!"

Like Solomon, we've "divided." Half is "Jewish vs. Goyish," half -- "Goyish vs. Jewish!" we're leading off with the HF (Hamish Factor) things that "feel" Jewish even if they're Goyish! Then, switch to the GF (Goyishe Factor) -- things that "feel" Goyish even if they're Jewish.

Again, you, dear readers, have come through with your own brilliant picks, which we've chosen for special mention.

To celebrate our final VERSUS, The poster we've picked for the gold will receive a free copy of my 2009, A Little Joy, A Little Oy calendar! Autographed, yet! (And that includes our last winner from Part Two, Marlene. ("Hellman's Mayonnaise is Jewish, Miracle whip is Goyish"). Winners, write to me at asksadie@aol.com and let me know where you'd like me to send it! Remember, If you don't send, I can't send. So mazel to all contenders.
