I admit, I got a little mad over the burrito. But my sensitive jew palate (or however you spell it; us Jewish bankers can't spell) has a tough time with certain food groups. You see, as a group, Jews are genetically inferior, meaning my weak Jew stomach can't process certain foods. Thus the source of my frustration. Phew! I hope that clears things up. I'm going to go into my room and count my quarters collection while watching the FX spread (read: Foreign Exchange) to see if I can get more sheckels for my money. Cross your fingers that the dollar strengthens! Otherwise, Tai will jewbuse me when I won't be able to afford to buy her new shoes. For shame!
