Help ID this science fiction short story?

I read this hilarious short story in 1978, and it was in a used school text book... so it was probably written in the 60s. The title may have been "So You Think You've Got Problems." Jewish humor / futuristic / science fiction. Protagonist says "Feh!" The plot centers on the ability to swap bodies (or swap consciousness), and the hilarious problems that arise.

It's probably in a volume of collected science fiction short stories. I've had no luck looking on Amazon / Half. Seeking author / ISBN / title. Would love to buy

    I'm pretty sure it's "Look, You Think You've Got Troubles" by Carol Carr. You can find it in "Wandering Stars: An Anthology of Jewish Fantasy and Science Fiction", ed. Jack Dann.

    the two: Roadside Picnic - Arkady & Boris Strugatsky Or: Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C Clarke i'm no longer able to assume of any memorable fictional religions... Edit: Oh, there grow to be as quickly as the "Day One" apocalyptic cult in "The song of Phaid the Gambler" by employing Mick Farren - a gaggle of heavily-armed fanatics.
