Overheard at The Drayer


From someone I know telling the group a story about a woman who is having a hard time as a single mom with one of her children.

Someone:  It's so sad.  She's just really having a hard time with him.  And she's tried everything?

Me:  Well, what about her husband?  Where is he in all of thise?

Someone:  Oh, I didn't tell you that part?  Yeah, it's so strange.  One day he went out to buy a book or something.....

[insert pause, in which of course I immediately finish the sentence in my head with: he was hit by a car, keeled over of a heart attack, ran away with the cashier, etc.]

                   and he came back a Muslim.


Huh?  

Is the local Muslim community down at the Barnes and Noble recruiting?

Were they running a special, "By the NY Times best seller and get a lifetime Muslim membership for free?"

oh, I could go on and on with this one!
