Oh, I work with FUN people!

We have a Jewish group in house for a function. Everything needs to be koshered for them. Today I had to listen to the complaints from people about how stupid it was that they were doing this, how it was interfering with our ability to do business, etc.

I calmly said, 'yes, I understand. I feel the same way about any religions practices."

They hushed so quickly.

That is not the usual behavior for that group. I am always preached to about how "Christians" are not a problem, that they are not intrusive, and that they are good people (as opposed, I guess, to Muslims).

You could have also reminded them that Jesus was a Jew. LOL.
