Comedy Showcase: Comedian Danny Lobell as Sami the Israeli

Today is the first day of summer, and if you have kids at home, you may already have sent them off to camp or will be sending them soon. But what if your kids have no camp plans this summer and having them at home means you can't take a vacation?

Comedian Danny Lobell, in character as Sami the Israeli, has some advice for you, based on the Israeli model of sending their kids to America to sell Dead Sea products in shopping malls. You've probably seen them in suburban malls at free-standing kiosks all over the country.

What's his idea? Make products from pepper and say that they come from Mount Rushmore. Then send them to Israel to sell the products in Tel Aviv shopping malls.

Lobell's idea is funny, and his caricature of an Israeli is painted in broad strokes and with a somewhat exaggerated accent. But it does provide food (and spices) for thought.

Enjoy!
