Gotta Love Yer Meat

In honor of the Overheard in New York blog I love so much, I've decided to start "Overheard Around The World" here at my blog onWednesdays. If I don't get enough responses, that's okay. It'll be from time to time.

I will begin with one we overheard last night when walking home from Thai food. A large man with a more than ample belly emerged with his spouse from the steak and ribs joint that literally serves only meat, patting said belly with a satisfied smirk.

"Sure am glad I'm not Muslim, 'cuz I love to eat meat!" he proclaimed into the deepening night as we passed by.

E. sniggered and whispered to me, "Muslims can eat meat; it's Hindus that don't."

But we let him believe the lie.
