There's some Jew in you

Coworker: And your pocketbook is purple, too!

Me: Yeah, I like it. I got it from the street vender up the block. I actually bargained him down for it.

Coworker: So you got some Jew in you.

Me: I AM Jewish.

*nervous giggle from her and other coworker*

Me: Watch that stereotype there.

*she goes to talk about other coworker about business and ignores me*

Ah, stereotypes, what would we do without them? /sarcasm

I just won an auction on ebay for a 12" warg to menace my poor hobbit dolls with so happy comfort can follow, so life is better, although disturbingly like that.

I read warg as wang first off. ;)

OH GOD THANK YOU I read it as wang until I saw this comment. *headdesk* That really made the sentence--and claudia603's comment--sound completely different...

Well, a 12" wang might be just as terrifying if you're hobbit-sized.
