Julie to Carol, " I didn't know you were Jewish?"

Carol replies, " I'm not."

"So why are you wearing the Star of David?"

" I like it."

Julie then rips into Carol about how disrespectful that is to the Jewish culture etc,..and then Carol fires one back.

"If it's so disrespectful for me to wear a Jewish symbol because I like it, why are you wearing a crucifix?"

I almost fell over. Sure enough Julie was wearing, not a cross, but a freakin' crucifix.

Her reply. " I like wearing it. It's not like it means anything. It's an accessory. Everybody wears one."

Well that was the beginning of the end. I exited to the bar.
