Does that mean I’m Jewish? Oy gevalt, all those Sunday mornings in church when I could have slept in… :mad: Oh, wait. Girls don’t have those (unless they answer D of course.) A guy I used to work with liked to spend his time picking through the dairy and meat aisles at Price Chopper, looking for expired stuff so he could take it to the service counter and get a fresh one for free. He was 100% Italian and Catholic when he bothered to be. I’m sure as hell not going to speculate about his foreskin, though. ---
