I was kidding. I do not smoke anything. Ever since, however, she has grown a big frown whenever she&#8217;s seen me and she starts hating on me. &quot;You&#8217;re a smoker!&quot; I try to tell her that I was just kidding but she doesn&#8217;t believe me. She&#8217;s about to celebrate her bat mitzvah and she treats me like dirt. One of these days, I need to tell her, &quot;It is not appropriate for you to talk to an adult that way.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>* I was at a potluck the other day. The kugel looked particularly appetizing. As I opened my mouth, I inadvertently sent a fine spray of saliva over the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>* This past week, when I talked up Kundalini Yoga to people, they told me that it does not give them a strong enough workout. &quot;If you&#8217;re primarily looking for a workout, Kundalini Yoga is not for you,&quot; I respond. &quot;It is for people who want a total experience of chanting, meditating, lecture, stretching, workout.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>* I had a delicious breakfast burrito at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/search?find_desc=schwartz+bakery&amp;find_loc=Los+Angeles+CA\">Schwartz&#8217;s Bakery on Pico<\/a> Sunday morning. I ask my shiksa, &quot;Have you ever had a boyfriend who cheated on you?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Once,&quot; she replies.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;How did you find out?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I saw it in my dream. I&#8217;m really intuitive and when something is going wrong with someone who is close to me, I feel it. I dreamed he was kissing this girl Sarah. I called him about it and he eventually confessed.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He was really straight. He didn&#8217;t drink. He went to church every Sunday. All guys who don&#8217;t drink are cheaters. They are so straight in everything else, they cheat sexually.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I have a Mexican friend who was married to an illegal alien. She told me, &#8216;All men who don&#8217;t drink are cheaters.&#8217; She deported him.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>* About three years ago, I made the mistake of telling this nine-year-old girl that I smoke cigars (she had been propagandized at school that this was evil).
