The Source?
I was heating up some leftovers for lunch the other day when strange and annoying co-worker WWIII approached. She sniffed around the microwave and this transpired…
WWWIII: “Hmmmm…smells good. Whatcha makin’?”
Cool Jesus: [Hesitant to respond because she is Chinese and I could envision this becoming an incident, but I finally answered] “Chinese leftovers.”
WWIII: “Oh yeah! Right on. From the source!” [and then she walked to the ladies room]
I was left scratching my head over that one. The source? Was she saying that, since she is Chinese, she is the source? Was I symbolically eating her? And why was she so excited? Does she always get that way when she sees non-Asians eating Chinese food? It’s not like I go to IHOP and high five everyone eating crepes.
