The Four Questions Celebrate the First Night of Passover

Why on all other nights do we eat either leavened bread or matzo, but on this night only matzo? We only eat matzo because Passover is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manischewitz company.

Why on all other nights do we eat different types of vegetables, but on this night only bitter herbs? We only eat bitter herbs to remind us of INXS’s 1991 hit, “Bitter Tears.”

Why on all other nights do we not dip our food once, but on this night we dip it twice? We dip our food twice because we have OCD and have to do tasks in even numbers.

Why on all nights do we eat either sitting upright or reclining, but on this night we recline? We recline to show our disrespect for the person sitting behind us on the plane. (This only applies if you’re doing your seder on a flight.)
