The higher ups

Special K: My new manager works in Boulder. He has a master's degree in biblical exegisis.

b1-66er: Good or bad one?

K: I haven't met him yet, but I'm not sanguine.
From this school: https://www.wheaton.edu/

b1: (They're a big deal.  Not pursuing is surprising.)

K: Pursuing what?

b1: Theology.

K: Oh God.

b1: Precisely.
Careful when you talk to him about the bible...he'll know more than you will.

K: If I'm talking to him about the Bible, something has gone wrong.
Anyway, I don't expect to report to him for long. I think our group
 will crumble entirely by end of year or so.
What does a devout Christian think of Jews, anyway? How can they not think less of us?

b1: Depends on the Xian.
Something between "old stock" and "not yet learned."

K: I'll be sure to confess my Judaism to my new boss at first meeting.

b1: You won't have to.
He'll either already know or won't care.  (Only Semites and anti-Semites care who the Jews are.)

K: What if I greet him with "L'chaim?"

b1: Tell me.

K: I'll say 'L'chaim, Reverend!"

b1: That plays.

K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
