A Passover Service for the Impatient
 Opening prayers:
                      Thanks, G-d, for creating wine. (Drink wine.)
                      Thanks for creating produce. (Eat parsley.)
Overview:

Once we were slaves in Egypt. Now we're free. That's why we're doing this.
Four questions:

1.        What's up with the matzoth?

2.       What's the deal with horseradish?

3.       What's with the dipping of the herbs?

4.    What's this whole slouching at the table business?

Answers:

1.      When we left Egypt, we were in a hurry. There was no time for making decent bread.
2.    Life was bitter, like horseradish.
3.    It's called symbolism.
4.    Free people get to slouch.

A funny story:

 Once, these five rabbis talked all night, then it was morning. (Heat soup now.)
The four kinds of children and how to deal with them:

Wise child- explain Passover.

Simple child- explain Passover slowly.

Wicked child- browbeat in front of the relatives.
Speaking of children:

We hid some matzoth. Whoever finds it gets five bucks!
The story of Passover:

It's a long time ago. We're slaves in Egypt.

Pharaoh is a nightmare. We cry out for help. G-d brings plagues upon the

Egyptians. We escape, bake some matzoth. G-d parts the Red Sea. We make

it through; the Egyptians aren't so lucky. We wander 40 years in the desert,

 eat manna, get the Torah, wind up in Israel, get a new temple, enjoy several

 years without being persecuted again. (Let brisket cool now.)
The 10 Plagues:

Blood, Frogs, Lice, you name it.
The singing of "Dayenu":

If G-d had gotten us out of Egypt and not punished our enemies,

it would've been enough.

            If he'd punished our enemies and not parted the Red Sea it would've been enough.

            If he'd parted the Red Sea-(Remove gefilte fish from refrigerator now.)
Eat matzoth. Drink more wine. Slouch.
Thanks again, G-d, for everything.
SERVE MEAL!
