You are lucky. I look nothing like my mother, and everything like a combination of my dad and my aunt. It's a sort-of funny running family joke.

eta my aunt in this scenario is my mom's sister, not my dad's. That would be gross rather than just scandalous.

When you convert you're saying "I affirmatively state there was no Jesus." That is one slap to him if you turn out to have been wrong.

We Messianic Jews resent that slur.

No Jesus at all or no Jesus as the son of god?

yes. bloodlines should count for everything.

"Each new generation of the Illuminati bloodline families is exposed to the appropriate ritual to activate their possession by the reptilian entities and so the cycle goes on. The phrase that comes to mind is '...forgive them for they know not what they do.'"

Oh. My mistake. No Jesus as the S.O.G.

First she'll have to figure out what problem she needs help with.

Is this the "sort-of-funny" family joke that brings conversations to a halt around the Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner table and leads to a variety of not-so-subtle glances between various parties? We used to have a couple of those.

Why? Perceived or actual appearance, affluence, propensity to be controlled by women? I have only known one shiksa IRL who wanted to date a bunch of Jews, and it was because she thought they provided a good shot at a worry free, luxurious life.

Why doesn't she just convert before meeting someone if she is that serious about it?

I dont know why but sense that it goes back to her deep insecurities (and I mean deep, possibly related to her being adopted) and the fact that jews are percieved by some to make better husbands and treat women more nicely. I thinkthe Harry and Charlotte thing from SatC probably sums it up real well. Or as Jeremy Irons said i his role as Claus Von Bulow in one of the greatest lines in movie history "I have always admired the intellect and integrity of the Jewish People".

I was gonna suggest she convert now but she is not talking to me. If she cannot handle a jewess friend, how is she gonna make it in the tribe? We are Larry David.

That might not be as funny as you think. I know a guy who looks nothing like his younger sister or his mom, but a whole lot like his older sister and her ex-boyfriend. Turns out he doesn't know that his older sister is his mom, and his mom is his grandmother, but I do. It's weird having that knowledge knowing that he doesn't know.

Was there a time machine involved in this anywhere?

True story*: One of my dad's cousins committed suicide at age about 35-40 after some relative let it slip that she was fathered by her mother's brother.

On that same "branch" of my extended family there are many other incest rumors. There were 12 children, and the rumor is that some of the 12 were fathered by the "father" and some by the "brothers" and that some of the sisters had babies by the "father" and some by their brothers. Sick sick sick.

*Not the same as Ty's "No shit" friend. This is actually true.

No. Pat McGroyne was a Penske sock.

Exactly. It's now been supplemented by the joke that my niece looks nothing like her mom and everything like a combination of my brother in law and me. Family gatherings are a hoot, if hoots come with awkward moments.
