Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whee! Federer!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Our local Rabbi recruited a non-Jew to the synagogue baseball team (apparently: this is allowed in the league). However he has a habit of repeating the same "joke" every time.

"All Jews step forward"

Turns and looks at the non-Jew.

"OK you can come too".

Every time, in a very non-jokey tone, even after she told him it bothered her and asked him to stop.

Am I alone in saying WTF? I mean this seems mean, rude, and prejudiced. Also doesn't that count as shaming someone?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I would think so, but then, I'm an atheist in the deep south, so I might be specially sensitive

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Am I alone in saying WTF?

No. That's ... odd. I can kinda see how he might think it was funny once or twice, but once the person told him it bothered her, there's no reason to keep doing it.

Always Anti-fascist!

There's a little Michael Scott in your rabbi. Oh, that's what she said.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

During timeouts Sara says, "I want a new mommy."

You can tell I'm not cut out to be a parent, as my instinctive response to this would be "well, let's go take a look around the orphanage!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does it make any sense that the part of my book order that was shipped Friday still hasn't arrived, while the part that was shipped Monday arrived yesterday?

No, it does not.

There's a little Michael Scott in your rabbi. Oh, that's what she said.

Hee!

Yay new Hustle! Boo casting spoiler.

So, I woke up at like 5:30 I guess because of a big truck doing whatever outside my window, but I couldn't go back to sleep because of thinking about issues I can't really do anything about right now. But I can ask you people about the stupidest thing on my mind:

I've never traveled with a computer (crazy, right?). Can I just put it in my carry-on suitcase? Because I do have (at work) an enormous laptop bag, but if I take that, I'll have to check my suitcase, and I'm really disinclined to that for a two-day trip.
