Oh Goy

I do not claim to possess special knowledge of the Jewish people.  But growing up in the Massachusetts suburbs, reading the OT a handful of times, and of course, that time I crashed the town Hannukah party, I have picked up a few things.  Things that the couple behind me in the bakery have not picked up in their lifetime.

They had called about 30 minutes earlier to inquire whether the chocolate cake was flourless and been told that it was.  Unfortunately, they did not reserve the chocolate cake in the same phone conversation and arrived to find the cake had sold out.  That's when this conversation took place:

Guy: What about the carrot cake cupcake?

Girl: You can't have that. That has leavening?

Guy: Really?  

Girl: You're the one that's Jewish.  How am I a better Jew than you?

(fun to say, but as we'll soon find out, neither of them are good Jews)

As I waited for my order to be filled, they couple played a rousing round of "Spot the Flourless Items."  A game that they weren't very good at that, as the next 3 items they picked out were the fruit tart, homemade Oreos (delicious!), and bread pudding.  Did I mention that the name of the bakery is Flour?  All the while, there was a giant pile of coconut macaroons in front of them that neither they nor the staff noticed.  Clearly, all of these people could have benefited from the lesson of The Seder Plate Champion. 

(All the videos of the Itche Kadoozy show are pretty great.  I can't remember now why I know about this hilarious site for Jewish education.  It's just another one of those things I've picked up.)
