MYSTIFICATION
Look, here's the thing. I have already written about mystification. What I have to say can be found in Chapters Two and Three of Moneybags Must Be So Lucky. Speaking without a smidgen of false modesty, I will say that I think that little book is, pound for pound, the best thing I have ever written. It is readily available with four mouse clicks: First, a click on the link to box.net, then a click to get to Archived Essays and Tutorials, then a click to get to page two of the listed items, and finally a click to open the .pdf file of the entire little book. It is really, really good. If you are interested in mystification, take a look. To make the medicine go down easier, by the way, I open Chapter Three with an old Jewish joke about Mrs. Feinschmeck's blintzes. It is an easy read, as these things go.

I grew up with the 'kreplach' version. As a joke it works best aurally (a sudden cry of fear is startling) and 'kreplach' is a funnier word.
I was reaching for a goyische audience.
Oh, thank you Professor. I didn't realize "Moneybags Must Be So Lucky" was on box.net!
