Barack Obama and his driver were cruising along a country road one night when all of a sudden they hit a pig, killing it instantly. Obama told his driver to go up to the farm house and explain to the owners what had happened. About 1 hour later Obama sees his driver staggering back to the car with a bottle of wine in one hand, a cigar in the other and his clothes all ripped and torn. “What happened to you”, asked Obama. Well, the Farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the Cigar and his 19 year old daughter made mad passionate love to me. “My God, what did you tell them”, asks Obama. The driver replies, “I’m Barack Obama’s driver, and I just killed the pig”.

Chutzpah is a Yiddish word meaning gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, sheer guts plus arrogance; it's Yiddish and, as Leo Rosten writes, "no other word and no other language" can do it justice. This example is better than 1,000 words. Read the story below the picture and then you will understand. THE ESSENCE OF CHUTZPAH... A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time, and as he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but never take a pretzel. This went on for more than 3 years. The two of them never spoke. One day, as the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him. Without blinking an eye she said: "They're 35 cents now."
