You don’t always get a good reception at a reception. Here’s just one example.
Each week Rochelle Wisoff-Fields posts a pic to write a 100 word story about.
This week is a humorous little foot-in-mouth tidbit.

On Kosher Food
Chris, speed up.
They’re still after us, Maggie?
Yes.
I’m glad you yelled get into the car when you did.
Well, you offended a lot of orthodox Jews at the reception.
I’m not Jewish. They shouldn’t have invited me.
They were being nice. You’re their employee.
But why did they have to ask me that question?
Again, they were being nice. You have to think before you speak.
Honey, I was only being honest. They asked me what I thought of kosher food.
And you said…
It was delicious. But anything this good, couldn’t be kosher.
Just keep driving, Chris.

Oops. Foot in mouth – is that kosher? Good story.
If it’s a split or cloven hoof, then yes!!!!!
Randy
She was right. They should’nt have asked her that question.
Hmmm. Interesting response. Thank you.
Next case.
Randy
Words with two meanings: I remember the fun I had in the USA.
Good piece.
What do you mean by that?
The USA is fun?
Randy
I had fun. Most of the conversations weren’t too serious and so the misunderstandings were just a source of levity. We’re two nations divided by a common language.
I like that line – two nations divided by a common language.
Sounds a lot like my marriage, too. 😉
Randy
I bet they’ll have some stony glances directed at them at work next day!
I’m not sue that Chris will be going back in to work tomorrow.
Dear Randy,
At least she didn’t ask for a ham sandwich.
When my husband and I were first married my parents presented us with some magnificent corned beef from a local Kosher deli. I knew the honeymoon was over when my DH put that delicacy on white bread with mayo and American cheese.
Love your story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I love corned beef on white bread with mayo – and American cheese.
Are you sure you’re Jewish?
Randy
😯
What a punim.
Kosher or not, I like your tale.
Kosher or not, I appreciate your comment. 😉
Randy
It’s kind of true, but don’t tell my rabbi!
What means this “kind of”? You’re either pregnant or not.
I’m telling the rebbiness. She’ll fix you good.
Ouch. Maybe it wasn’t… I always thought that things that where good for you couldn’t taste good…
Hmm. I’m not sure I want to go there…. 😉
Randy
Step on the gas, methinks, kosher or not. A germ.
Surely you meant a gem, not a germ.
And I have gas. How do you step on it?
Randy
Oops, maybe too much to drink? Loose lips sink ships and all that. Fun piece, Randy.
Nothing like blaming a loose lip on liquor.
Fun piece, Randy. I’ve never been to a Jewish reception. I’ll try to remember this.
Always just say, “The food is delicious and I’m having a great time.”
Now, repeat after me. “the food is delish and…”
Nice play on words.
Thanks, but isn’t that we, all of us, writers do?
😉
Randy
I saw what you just did 😉
Hilarious, Randy. If they’re still following, they must have “really” been offended. I guess he learned a lesson, hopefully. Well done. 😀 — Suzanne
