Hunh. Benjamin Franklin raised his illegitimate son. As did the son, when he did what Dad did.

OK, I don’t know if anyone but Alouette will appreciate this one, but somewhere in Gemara or possibly a commentary, it says that a man who eats matzah before the seder is like one who sleeps with his fiance in her father’s house before the wedding.

Legend has it that Chaim Bialik, the great Hebrew poet, commented on that in the margin, “I’ve done both, and they are not similar.”
