Juice

h/t Secular Apostate

So, this Jewish-American family is enjoying dinner at a family-owned Chinese restaurant in New York, and they are speculating whether or not there are any Jews living in China. They ask their young waiter, "Are there Chinese Jews?" The waiter replies, "I am not sure. I'll ask my Dad; he's in the kitchen". A couple of minutes pass, and a middle-aged Chinese-American approaches their table and asks, "You have question?" The Jewish father repeats his question, and the Chinese chef replies, "Don't know. Ask father". A while later, a little old Chinese man approaches the table and asks, "You got question?" And after the same question is repeated, he says, "No, is no Chinese juice. Is apple juice; is orange juice; is prune juice. Is no Chinese juice".

“Much writing and research has been devoted to the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy [specifically its negative, negentropy] and the evolution of life.” — Wikipedia, Entropy and life

“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel — ‘Thou mayest’ — that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’ — it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not’.” — John Steinbeck, East of Eden
