Texas is the Reason post of the day...
So my wife comes back from a gig in Dallas on Friday & Saturday. She does these communication trainings on the side for an agency based in NYC that has a lot of Jews on its staff. The brother of the owner lives in Dallas.
So she hears stories of what life is like as a Jew living in Texas. The guy's 16-year-old daughter had friends in high school who told them they couldn't be friends anymore since she's going to hell. And the guy literally had people straight-faced tell him, surprised when they found out he was Jewish, that, "I thought Jews had horns."
Go Texas Christians.
If the Midwest are the "vowel states", Texas is the Bowel State.
