I JUST THOUGHT THE SAME THING. At first I was like Christ who cares, then I read the blurb and the no NDA and I’m all, GIVE ME THAT BOOK ASAP.

Her stuff about Kendra is going to be hella juicy! http://www.people.com/article/holly-…
Maybe the old bastard missed one.
“Also, while Jewish people still face prejudice, they’re not at the same level of disadvantage of blacks, Hispanics, etc.”
Not to mention, I can literally not think of any joke Seinfeld has ever made that could be deemed bigoted or racist.
You can be white and from syria. He’s white and jewish.
Because you can be white and jewish. Minotirty doesnt eqaul POC.
Uhm, Seinfeld is the son of a Jewish man who was born in pogrom-ridden Eastern Europe and a Jewish mother from Syria.
Adam Carolla isn’t really a successful comedian. He’s a TV/Radio show host who used his fame in those areas to sell venues.
I’d argue that the comedic movies and shows of today are pretty terrible. Something like All In the Family and Married with Children wouldn’t be put on network television today. The crazy thing is, as ‘politically incorrect’ both those shows were, they were really making fun of small-minded and offensive people.
When I wa a kid I was fascinated with physics, particularly light. I understood the difference between ultraviolet and infrared, but I puzzled my college educated parents for a while until they realized that ‘inf-rared’ was my misunderstanding where ‘infra-red’ was divided.

You can if you want, although that doesn’t sound familiar to me.
I work in an office with a lady from the Philippines whose english is impeccable, except for she pronounces every single letter and syllable and hits them all equally hard. So it’s loh-gick-ah-lee, etc.
I’m leaving this in there for comedy purposes.
This is a lovely solution that allowed your customer to save face. Good on you for thinking quickly and putting the onus on yourself in this situation.
I’m fortunate enough to work with several African immigrants, which is great bc their various cultures and customs were previously unknown to me. I love my Ghanaian friends’ accents and their impeccable politeness! And one of my coworkers is apparently quite the celebrity in his native Kenya, where he was an actor.…
I once had a table headed by a woman with a very thick Deep South accent and a few missing teeth. Try as I might I could not understand what she wanted to order. To avoid offense, I smiled brightly, explained to the whole table that I was a little hard of hearing, and asked if she wouldn’t mind writing down what she…
Completely off point, but this is a hilarious typo!
OK but he sent 2 other people to the table instead. And they repeated their entire order 3 times. Pointing to the menu would’ve been way more efficient (love his solution anyway, but think it could have all been avoided).
