Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

Okay, what the hell is up with this? I was accosted like six times in the space of 30 minutes with this question while I was Christmas shopping downtown yesterday. These little wolf packs of guys in funny black hats and bad haircuts approach me "Are you Jewish? Excuse me, do you happen to be Jewish? Pardon me sir, are you Jewish?" I answer "No" politely each time and they leave to go after the person behind me. By the time the third group approached me, I couldn't stand it. I sarcastically replied "I used to be Jewish, but I'm feeling much better now!" By the time I got to six I was running out of material and resorted to "No, but my brothers behind me are much more Jewish than I am, Mr Troll."

So can someone explain to me what these people are doing? I'm sure as hell not going to ask them, for fear of a dreadfully boring 15 minute conversation about our lord and saviour. Is this some kind of recruitment scam? This happen to anyone else? BB?

more description, please ? what kind of black hats ? all the same ?

you've got to spend atleast five minutes and engage these people,
just for information ! I'm sure they've got a tract they can hand you....



{I fucking love new nutty religious movements !!}

The chavs were chucking pennies at the crazy christian woman in town again today. My favourite time of the year.

Fuck man, I don't know. Hats, dude! I don't have a subscription to Fundamentalist Fashion Monthly. They could be Burkhas for all I know.

Ever see the movie Snatch? That's what they looked like, more or less.

I actually know what that means. How sad is that? I blame my friend from Manchester. But then again, he did introduce me to the brilliant idea of porting American TV over to Liverpool as "Desperate ScouseWives". Casting call out to all slappers!

Damn, I was hoping as a fellow Ontarian you'd have some insight.
It's gotta be a scam.

You know, now that I think about it...
The multiple encounters must be the hook. They have around a dozen groups circling a particularly busy area, going round and round, asking as many people as they can if they are Jewish, but leaving them alone if they answer "No." Eventually, some portion of the crowd will breakdown and out of curiosity they will stop and ask why they are being questioned. At that point, the person has stopped and is investing their time in what these fellows have to say next. As any salesman tells you, persuading the audience to pay attention is half the battle.

That's gotta be it.

People scam each other in Canada??? Must be some US citizens come up there to get a few of those valueable loonies.

Note to Omphalos: I'm not trying to be offensive here, merely proposing a solution.

could be some sort of Gustopo...probably put stars of David to everybody who answered "Yes"

Black hats...Hurm...might be some sort of beardless Rabbi...

Or is Woody Allen up to something?

"Excuse me, are you Jewish?"

"Yes, but only my circumcised part. Wanna see?"

Very good Sloey!

As inoffensive as I have ever seen you. Kudos.

I wonder if it is some kind of "War on Christmas" crew trying to gather data making sure that no Jews will be offended if merchants wish them a Merry Christmas. At least it sounds like the kind of shit some of those folks would pull down here.

GamePlayer : I know that right now you are young and have a full, active life,
with things to do and people to see. You see these people as a waste of your
valuable time, and they are. But as you get older, much older, you'll learn to
appreciate the opportunity to fuck with those kinda people, because you will
have the time to waste and your life will be a pointless circle.

I would not only stop those kids, listen to their spiel, and ask questions until
they ran out of answers, I'd then give them my spiel, following them out to their
cars. I also sit around here waiting for the telemarketers to call. I've made more
than a few of those cocksuckers cry.

My HERO OF DUNE!

Makes you think people are watching you, doesn't it, Sloey?

Makes it hurt that much more when they're disappointed.

I have people wacthing me.

And by 'people' I mean creatures on a higher plain of existence. (And No; i don't mean God)

You must be talking about us.

I liked "High Plains Drifter" ....

Higher "plain" ... nice.

Omhap, could you cover this?

*Fades off while laughing manically*

Omhap, classic.

Or Chig or somebody? Freak?

Someone tell Sandridre about hte greatest Sloey story ever written, could you?

Wait, I know that one ... it was the time when you actually used a spell-checker, right?

i love messing with telemarketers. one of the best is saying you'll get the person they're asking for and just leaving the phone on a counter on speakerphone, waiting to see how long they'll sit there.

We get telemarketers calling from Filipino companies in the Philippines all the time. I always make them wait, and I get on a few times and say that my wife is coming, or asking their name again, and tell them to wait some more; she really needs to talk to them. Or every once in a while walking by the phone and yelling "Sylvia, Osbaldo really wants to talk to you!" I swear, my record is two and a half hours before they hung up.
