The Israel Supporter And The Sandwich
Israel supporter: [Walks up to a guy at a restaurant, grabs his sandwich, starts eating it.]
Guy: Hey!
Israel supporter: What?
Guy: That’s my sandwich!
Israel supporter [still eating]: Sandwich? What sandwich?
Guy: Right there! You’re eating it right now!
Israel supporter: No I’m not.
Guy: Oh my God! You’re standing right in front of me eating my sandwich! I can see you doing it with my own eyes!
Israel supporter [finishing sandwich]: Nope. Never happened.
Guy: You owe me another sandwich you prick! You stole from me!
Israel supporter: So you’re saying Jews steal? That’s an anti-semitic canard!
Guy: What?? I didn’t even know what religion you are! I’m just mad you stole my sandwich and ate it right in front of me!
Israel supporter: That never happened. Or if it did happen it wasn’t me. Or if it was me I had to do it because another guy did something that left me no choice, so you should blame him.
Guy: Gah!!
Israel supporter: Actually come to think of it I’m beginning to suspect maybe YOU ate MY sandwich.
Guy: How is this happening? This is ridiculous!
Israel supporter: Again with the Jew hating!
Guy: Why the hell do you keep babbling about Jews?? This has nothing to do with Jews! This is about you personally and the specific thing you just did!
Israel supporter: Okay Hitler. [Steals silverware on the table, exits.]
