To add nutrition, a lot of milk, juice, and yogurts enrich the food with EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. In other words, your OJ contains fish oil.

Food Joke

What female Jewish judges might say "I have a question for the blonde juror in the red at the end. Can I ask you if you are married? You’re not – Oy, do I have a son for you." "Stop already with this discussion of oral sex. It`s dirty, dirty, dirty!" "Look at that face! How can a nice boy like him be guilty?" "Enough with the objections already! And stand up straight - your mother would die if she saw you like this. Not that she ever sees much of you anymore, I`ll bet." "Objection, schmobjection. You and the DA, come back to my chambers and we`ll talk this out over a nice hot cup tea." "I’ve just awarded you £1M and you can`t even thank me? I take it back!" "Fine, go have your little conference with your client and leave me here, sitting alone, up on the bench." "If you don`t try the chicken soup, it`s five days in jail for contempt." "Evidence, shmevidence. He just looks guilty." "Oh, you want to object, do you? You don`t think I can do my job? Well, how about you come up and take this gavel, Mr. Smarty Pants? Here, I`ll put it on the desk - right next to my heart. No, go ahead, take it. You`re right, I`m just a senile old woman and should probably be sent off to some sort of home. Your Aunt Myra really likes her room, why don`t you give her a call? But really, I shouldn`t have to remind you to call your Aunt Myra. I guess you just don`t love her anymore, either. I should have expected it, you being a big shot lawyer now. Would it kill you to just believe me once instead of always having to argue? Overruled."
