Survivor Challenge

There is nothing better than when two worlds collide...




















Last night's episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm had me rolling on the floor with tear's of laughter streaming down my face.

The episode's centerpiece is a dinner party celebrating the renewal of Larry and Cheryl's wedding vows. Colby Donaldson, one of the stars of the reality series Survivor and a friend of Larry's rabbi, captures the attention of family and friends with his stories of deadly snakebites in the Australian outback. Suddenly, a withered man with a glass eye interrupts. "Let me tell you, I was in a concentration camp. You never even suffered one minute in your life compared to what I went through," says Solly, a friend of Larry's father. The conversation quickly devolves into a competition:

COLBY: We had very little rations, no snacks.
SOLLY: Snacks, what are you talking snacks? We didn't eat, sometimes for a week, for a month....
COLBY: Have you even seen the show?
SOLLY: Did you ever see our show? It was called the Holocaust!

With civility out the window, each of them shouts, "I'm a survivor!" "I'm a survivor!"
