Yesterday evening I waited at the bar of Peche for my friend Matt to finish work so we could go to see the touring production of The Book of Mormon. His fiancée went to Boston for the weekend.
So ladies, now you know what your boyfriends do when you leave town. They go to musicals with gay guys.
While at the bar, a handsome man of around 30 came in to buy his God parents a gift certificate for dinner at Peche. I told him a dinner is a thoughtful gift. He replied, “Yeah, they’re Jews so they’re pretty tight and would never come here if they had to pay.”
What was your reply?
Nothing great, just turned away. But he knew, it hit him later. He wrapped it up quick.
He wasn’t being ironic, like Sasha Baron Cohen’s making anti Semitic jokes to send up anti Semites?
Yes, very like Southern rednecks to use irony to expose social injustices.
