Anyone here know how to play a Jaw Harp/Jew's Harp?

I was thinking of picking up a jaw harp to play with my acoustic trio just for fun, but if the things are impossible to learn how to play I'll pass. What's the word?

Get a Nazi harp instead. It's the only instrument capable of playing anti-semitones.
