It might work. Have you ever seen a book called "Jewish as a Second
Language?" It became a bit tedious for a whole book, but the first third
was funny. Even inside digs can be of value in understanding another
tradition. Then again, I don't get the golf jokes even WITH the
explanation. (Some of my best friends are golfers, but I think its a
waste of good farmland to set up a course anywhere the landscape doesn't
already resemble a Scottish moor).
