I'm afraid this would offend some Jews who don't share
my black sense of humor. It doesn't bother me, though
I will be careful about to whom I repeat it.

You will be right if Fred keeps the money, but I would argue
that if he gives it all away (net of welding expenses, natch)
the 'commodification' is really inflicted on O.J. by Fred.
If I was Fred I would be thinking of ways to hurt OJ every day,
in every possible way. They say the Jewish Old Testament is
unforgiving. I wouldn't know, but I know the feeling.
