Joelle and I have been taking an Introduction to Islam class that the local Hillel (Jewish Student Center) has been offering.
As part of the class, we visited a local mosque last weekend with our instructor (a Master’s student in Islamic Studies at U-W, who also happens to be a Shiite Muslim and a US Marine). He was supposed to meet us at 7:30, but still wasn’t there at 7:50 or so.
At 7:53 he comes walking in, and apologizes, and tells the following story (paraphrased):
I’m so sorry! We drove to Kirkland, and were getting off 405, and all of a sudden I turned to my wife and realized: "We forgot the Jews!"
Which reminds me; I need to write up more about this class and visit later, but wanted to share that fun comment first…
