That's pretty funny, I guess I'm a "Third Wayer" too - I'm Catholic, th'other half is Muslim and we always say we'll raise the kids Jewish, hedging our bets so someone in the family is on the right track gets into a heaven of some sort.
right track to get into, even . . . .
I hadn't even considered the heaven angle! But you're right, this really complicates Pascal's wager.
"...she's some now-apparently-chic mix of Russian, German, and other Western European...."
Although Germany is Western European, it defines the border. Russia is both Eastern European and Asiatic. Are you sure you don't mean "other Eastern European"? Or is your wife otherwise part Nordic, or Italian, or French, or Hispanic?
Just curious and nit-picking, said this mongrel from a mix of Polish/Russian/Rumanian/German/uncertain Eastern European, really-from-Brooklyn.
But, combining Catholic, Jewish, and Shi'ite, I'm sure you can find some lovely Wahabi's to turn purple at you as Living Examples of The Crusader Conspiracy. (Ever hear of the old cartoon tv show, Crusader Rabbit? Proof positive!)
Sorry, didn't mean to get you ahead of yourself. Meant "fiance," not "wife."
This is embarrassing. I went Western to cover my memory of some UK strands, but I'm really not certain. I have a call in to the source and I'll let you know the answer.
And, as long as we're nitpicking, you mean "fiancee," and not "fiance."
"You are English!"
"No, I'm anti-English."
"Because you left?"
"Yes. I founded this country."
"You must be very tired."
"Mm-hmm."
"I'm grateful to finally have it explained just why no one has ever approached me on the street to offer me a modeling gig."
You're a funny guy, Ogged.
