Look at the Jews

Travis, a friend of mine and typical jock type, committed something of a faux pas in an airport terminal a few years ago.

He was sitting at the gate with his brother and dad, when a small group of Orthodox Jews sat in the row of seats opposite them. Amused by their appearance, he leaned over to his brother and whispered "Look at the Jews". His brother made no reply, offering only a dumbfounded stare. "LOOK AT THE JEWS", Travis repeated, in a harsher whisper.

Mortified, his dad, who was a full 3 seats away, slapped him on the back of the head.

It turned out that, courtesy of Travis' headphones blaring Sepultura at full blast, and his decision to not remove them before "whispering", he had in fact bellowed the comment both times, and everyone else at the otherwise quiet gate was staring at him in horror.

Especially the Jews.
