Jews eat brown bread with mustard. I married a non-Jewish guy and       my mom came to town to meet them. She called me from the grocery store and       said in a hushed, conspiratorial        tone, "I'm at the supermarket. Do you want me to get some ham and wonderbread       with mayonnaise?" She wasn't kidding. She was trying to show how open-minded       she was.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
