While I'm not Jewish, I was in New York for a friend's wedding, and she is actually Hasidic, which is a very strict sect of Orthodoxy. Naturally, I was the only clean shaven one there as most Hasidic Jews do not shave at all, and thus grow very long beards. My girlfriend, who's conservative, told me not to bring up my new straight razor to anyone, despite my palpable excitement, lest it offend and tip them off to my goy roots.

Well, I was walking with the groom(who is Australian and very mellow), bride, and some of the bride's friends, including my girlfriend, up Park Avenue and passed a Casswell-Massey. When the groom asked why I would be interested in the shop because all he saw were soaps,I couldn't contain my excitement at looking at their shaving brushes. The look on my girlfriend's face turned from interested in their soaps to horror as I described, in great detail, my shaving regimen and the pros of straight razors and badger brushes. The entire conversation and walk screetched to a halt as both my gf and the bride and her friends were terrified to hear the topic I was discussing.

The groom turned to me, and said with a smile, "Well I guess we should go in then. I could use a shave." After I finished laughing, I turned to my girlfriend and immediately said, "See? Jews make jokes too." It was really nice to rub it in her face.
