In the blink of an eye, I had to decide: 1) whether to accept it or not; 2) If I didn't accept it, how to explain it; 3) If I did accept it, would I have to lie and tell them how good it was even though I trashed it?
'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan
The only course of action would be to declare that the pork loin be cut and a half given to each of you. Then when one declares to give the pork loin to the other, then and only will the true eater of the pork loin be discovered.

The other Abrahamic religion that doesn't eat pork and . . . doesn't drink alcohol?

They do not drink. I've gone out a couple times with a local Mormon (Apostolic United Brethren) girl, she does not drink nor do I, but for different reasons.
BTW, once the word gets around the neighborhood, you might be getting friendly visits from the local evangelicals. And hopefully not the Messianics, i always want to punch them out.
So he could accept these gifts, then give them to me. Nothing wasted, nobody offended.
That would be a good strategy!
Speaking of evangelicals knocking on doors...
The day after we move into our new place there is a knock on the door. No, not the Mormon missionaries, that wouldn't be conversation worthy. It is these two young kids, maybe 10-12, dressed in their white shirts, ties, slacks. So clearly Mormons, but too young for missionaries. They ask if we have our 'fast offering.' ****? I ask what that is and they explain that we should fast one day per month and then give said non-perishable food items or cash to these little &^%ers to collect it up for the church. Yeah... no. Have a nice day, you little moochers. I was nice to them but ****? A) This is America and you can get bent if you think I'm going to starve for a day for any reason. Don't these people get enough money from their members?
Look, everybody knows there's a secret cabal of Jews who run the world. But the idea that we're co-conspirators with the Japanese is just crazy.
Bob, by the way, kind of freaks me out a little bit. He's much older, retired Army. He looks and sounds just like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino, but he's really nice. It's hard to process.

Bob understood. Sandra asked if we drank wine. (...I have no idea).

Of course....but I just have trouble believing that she was that confused between Jews and Muslims.
Very solomonic.
Obviously, you don't look Jewish enough..;)

Jones: "I mean, how do you come up with this stuff" That's quite a question. I wonder how chem trails work into this.
