Scarfe's 'Touch Wood'

This is the Sunday Timnes' caricaturist George Scarfe




The 'bloody wall of peace' cartoonist.


He claims


 I’ve never had any political, touch wood, interference at all.

Do non-Jews use the phrase "touch wood"?

Only non-Jews do... because it refers to the wood of Yoshke's cross, I believe.

a) actually, I have heard too many Jews use it, from family to friends.

b) he was born in St. John's Wood

c) it was a dig.
