Bodohlah, Why You So Like That One?

( Sung to Do Re Mi, from the Sound of Music) This song in the recent Broadway Parodies by the Actors Studio always makes me laugh. Especially when I see some bodohs. You know, the ones, those motorcyclist who veer into your path just to overtake a car, almost hitting the front end of your car and just barely swiping the side mirror? Those bodohs? In the spirit of muhibah...and broadway....
