Hey, at least they ask you if you're Jewish. A couple of weeks ago, one of the Lubavichers simply approached me with a big smile and a shofar, exclaiming, "Hello, my Jewish friend!"
Not sure, but I think Sukot is due to start about now. The harvest holiday where we're supposed to build a shack in the fields and live in it for 8 days.
But what a yucky day. You at least have missed my mom walking up to a "looks jewish, ergo..." guy on GWU campus and scolding him about not having a coat on and how his mom would worry on one of her trips.
Anyway - yay! for a cheaper item that will get you the right silhouette.
That story about your mom is actually really funny.
I saw a guy today that was a bit of a Hassidic dandy, if it were possible. I mean, definitely a Hassid, but his clothes were of the most beautiful fabric I'd ever seen, and he knew it. It was quite odd.

Without missing a beat, one of them says "Oh, are you Jewish?"
*blink*blink* "Er, are you asking me that because I'm swarthy (I had a tan at the time) have a big nose and I live in a nice neighborhood?"
They both turned white, apologized profusely and couldn't get off the porch fast enough. Nice lads, mind you. Just clueless and tactless. :)
