A question for the Jews

[Valmy]

In answer of your question - I often swear "Jesus goddam K-rrist!" and the like when (say) I hit my thumb with a hammer.

Just cultural osmosis - if I was living in your part of the world a thousand years ago, no doubt I'd yell "Odin's Spear!" or whatever. 

Thor's hammer!

Start using arabic (Inshallah, hamdilullah etc.), see if that makes her less upset.

It's irrelevant now since I no longer work there (and neither does she, I just learned last week).  This was like 3 years ago.

I fucking once worked with a fucking indian fucking co-worker who fucking said fucking fucking every fucking second fucking word in normal fucking converstation.

Try that.

That was what I was getting at, but these mother fuckers always have to see a sinister side to everything. 

But you're not really a real Jew.

Yeshua H. Meshiha! What nonsense is this?

Thanks for answering my question.

Heh I wonder why.

Trust a Nazi to know the difference.

Heh I wonder why. 

People see what they want to see.

I thought it was your father that was Jewish?

A couple centuries ago that would have been a big deal but these days lots of Jewish fathers married to various Delilahs have their kids raised Jewish.

No, my mom.

Hence my rather un-Jewish sounding last name ...

[Slargos]

Well I stand corrected.

I have no idea what Malty's last name is. He's not that important to me.

And yet he was important enough to you to consider the question of whether he was a "real" jew.  I understand making such a mistake in the company you keep could haver serious ramifications so I forgive your attempt to downplay your error.
