Who Did­n’t, Re­al­ly?

Brunette: I’ve al­ways want­ed a tat­too, but I don’t think I’m go­ing to get one. You can’t get buried in a Jew­ish ceme­tery if you have a tat­too.
Blonde: Why would you want to get mar­ried in a Jew­ish ceme­tery?
Brunette: Not mar­ried. Buried.
Blonde: Oh… So, are you Jew­ish?
Brunette: Yes.
Blonde: What is it with Jews al­ways want­i­ng to mar­ry oth­er Jews?
Brunette: I guess part of it is that the Jews have been per­se­cut­ed so much, so peo­ple want to make sure to per­pet­u­ate the race.
Blonde: Re­al­ly? Like who? Who per­se­cut­ed the Jews?
Brunette: Um… well… the Nazis.

Girl: Yeah.
Guy: Would­n’t you be pissed?
Girl: Yeah, well, his mom treats him like shit any­way.

Brief pause.

Girl: I’m re­think­ing the doc­tor thing.
Guy: Re­al­ly?
Girl: Yeah, sur­geon or on­col­o­gist or what­ev­er I be­come. I would­n’t be able to have a fam­i­ly.
