Bike Tube Vending Machine and Yiddish

Been meaning to note for a while - there's a bike store in Fällanden, at the bottom of the hill where we live. Recently (about a month and a half ago), they installed an spare-tube vending-machine outside the shop. This means, any time of day or night, one can mosy on down to the store and buy spare tubes. Nifty!

Also, it transpired that Google Search doesn't yet know about the Yiddish phrase:

ווס וייס איין חזר פון לוקשן - Vos veis ein chazer fun lokshin? / What does a pig know about lokshen ...

ie. Pork is the stereotypical non-kosher food. Lokshen is a typical Jewish food. Thus, the rhetoric implying "what does a non-Jew know about Jewish matters"?


There - now the Goog can index it for posterity.
