@irene nope. It makes you human.

@irene but Jews are supposed to be reptilians :0

@Wisecrack being Jewish myself, I got to admit I find it rather entertaining when a non-jew starts bugging me about jewish things.
Also, according to Jewish Law one is only Jewish if his mom is Jewish or if he converts properly (please don't get me started on what "properly" means). -
@irene do you mean Matza? As in that unrisen, unleavened bread that's likely stale by the time you get it, and on sale in any supermarket (in an area with a high Jewish population) right after passover?
If that's what your talking about, well the answer oddly enough is: Yes, as long as it's slnot stale it's actually quite good...
BTW ask away, I'll be glad to answer pretty much all questions you have about judiasm. -
@irene well the answer (as I said before) is: oddly enough, Yes, as long as it's not stale it's actually quite good. :)

@magicMirror you've never gotten the good stuff I see... :)
Where we live, in order to get round, hand-backed Matza it need to be shipped. Yet despite that, some pieces are still thin and not stale that they're edible (and good too!) -
@chabad360
trust, if you knew my mom you'd wish she was less jewish. She trained to be a lawyer and ended up leaving due to kids and the fact she couldn't stop arguing with literally everyone.
She was raised catholic though on account of my grandfather being an irish son of a bitch.
She didn't raise me catholic though so I never had a chance to perv on repressed catholic school girls and nuns.
Whats a man to do? -
@irene exactly, @magicMirror if you buy the Manischewitz Square Matzos you'll find a pleasant surprise! Although it's just not as good as the real thing...
@Wisecrack wait? And what about her mom? -
@Wisecrack aww man, I'll have to admit curiosity to what that dispute was.
But yes family is weird, a few of by dad's siblings (there's a lot of them) and quite a few relatives married my mom's relatives, and to be honest I don't even know their names (or in some cases their existence)... So there's my weird family for you. -
@Wisecrack yes, I meet new ones (that can mean older than me, I just didn't know they existed) constantly, it's also a weird encounter...
People who don't mind their business.
So a while back, in a casual conversation I mentioned to a customer that I maybe might *possibly* have some jewish ancestry, on my *fathers* side, like my grandparents. Distant ancestry. Like the sort of distance that leads to things like dumb polish jokes.
Anyway, this guy starts coming in on a regular basis and talking about jewish related things constantly and I just want to ring him up and be left alone.
He asks me "so aren't you supposed to be in synagogue or something? I thought you're people were really adamant about not working on the sabbath?"
I looked at him deadpan and said "Money is my religion. Have a nice day."
He laughed nervously "uh yeah, thats good, okay, gotta run."
Best part was he forgot his eleven cents in change.
