Some dumb guy who tried to talk to me once said, "You'd look like the perfect Jew if you didn't have those blue eyes."
I said, "Yeah, and you'd be really attractive if you weren't such a dumba**."
Now, I still don't know what he meant by that...he was really drunk.
That said, I do have Jewish ancestry..but it's rather distant...my paternal great-grandmother's family were German Jews, but the one son who immigrated (my great, whatever, grandfather, a cabinet/casket maker) left Germany in the 1700's and converted to Christianity upon arriving in the colonies. Rumor has it he wanted a land grant (which he got...right down the road from here) and didn't think he'd have a chance as a Jewish person...he also married a Christian woman.
His surname was Rush.
I guess he wasn't very dedicated to his faith, but, who am I to judge?
Still, I don't know what they idiot in the bar was talking about...and I couldn't figure out if he meant it in a complimentary way or as some sort of backhanded comment...it was really out of line, either way.
