(October 20, 2013 at 5:58 am)downbeatplumb Wrote: A co-worker of mine was greeted by an american colleague on their first ever meeting with an outstretched hand and the question "Are you sharp for the lord" which led to an awkward encounter. Why he felt the need to put my friend in this position I don't know.

What people believe can be a touchy subject and people sometimes react badly if you think what they believe is stupid. I'd rather not be in the position to have to mention it but if asked.....

Reminds me of many years ago when I was greeted by an evangelist who asked me with hand extended, "so, are you a deadbeat for Jesus?"

I was very young and still yet a christian so I didn't find the question offensive, but had that happened today my answer would be significantly different.
