Let My People Go

So last night over a few drinks and grilled steaks, Boychick starts to tell us a story about one of the new areas on Fire Island. He described it thusly: "The signage to the place described it as a 'Gated Christian Community'."

The following conversation ensued.

Me: You mean it's a restricted community? Do such things exist?

Boychick: Well, let's put it this way. As a New York Jew, they wouldn't accept me. (points to Fang) As a Polish Catholic, they wouldn't accept you. (points to Sylvia) New York Jew--they wouldn't accept you. (points to me) They would accept YOU.

Me: Whaddya saying? Why would they accept me?

Fang: (ignoring me) They would probably turn Jesus away.

Me: (impatient) Hey, why would they turn you all down and accept me?

Boychick: Well, WASPs are in high demand.

Me: BUT I'm a non practicing WASP.

It ain't easy being me.

That community sounds a little freaky and most definitely NOT Christian at all. Unbelievable! I get so pissed off when..... better yet, don't let me get started.

Trust me, you don't want to be a part of that 'community' anyway.
