[Ads-l] OT: names

[Wilson Gray]

I'm watching a tale on the tube about one "Kevin Cohen."

Does anyone else recall the old TV show, "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"?
There were a couple of episodes featuring a young, hip, new-age rabbi named
"Kevin Cohen." This was a real thigh-slapper of a concept, at the time.
Like, what Jewish guy would ever be named "Kevin," let alone one who was
not only a _rabbi_, but who was also a *Cohen*?! Har! Har! How much more
ridiculous can you get?!

Well, as they say, "Time brings about a change."
