By "you people", did you mean Jews or Blacks?
Note to self: religion freaky.

"All the Jews in the Jew-Jew zone that deal with Jews are Jews-affirming."
See, if that's turned to "All the gays in the gay-gay zone that deal with gays are gay-affirming", I'd go NUH-UH.

You Jews are Jews.
I knew that was coming.

I have a rule about this. When making a statement like this, replace the name of the group with 'Jew' or 'Black' and see how it sounds.
I had an assignment in college where this was done, but with non-gender neutral language, so words like Policeman or Mailman became Policewhite or Mailblack. Our college had just made gender-neutral language a requirment for all college materials, our class was the first "first-years" instead of "freshmen". It was an interesting piece to read, offensive at time.

No. I meant plain-bellied sneetches and star-bellied sneetches.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is having a star-belly a choice? Or is there a star-belly gene?

Or are you nurtured into having a star-belly?
What about semi-star-bellied pseudo-sneetches? What if you PAINT a star on your belly - is that drag?

You mean sneetches that swing both ways? Disgusting! They spread star-belliedness to the non-star-bellied community! Or the other way around!
What if you PAINT a star on your belly - is that drag?
It depends if it's just a thing done once in a while or if it's a 24/7 lifestyle thing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Boy, you know what's more fun than Newark when pretty much every single flight is delayed or canceled?
Everything. Everything is more fun.

The Fleet Week fleet? Doing another pass - CLOSER.
I can count the sailors on deck. The whole office has basically shut down to watch them slooooooowly sail by.
ETA: it's funny watching Seattle police boats - and Navy patrol Zodiacs - racing around intercepting private vessels that are getting too close. ZOOM - STOP! See? That's a BIG GUN pointed at you. Thanks! ZOOM
