Bye!

Kid with Mom on the street: Are you nuns?
Us: No, we're Muslims.
Mom to kid: Oh, like your Grandma ____
Kid: You wear those jeebs
Us: I guess you could call it that, they are hijabs.
Kid: Oh yah, I have a short word for orange juice. I call it OJ!

You people

Hijabi: It's really hot in our office. Can you turn the a/c on?
Property Manager: Your window faces south, so it's going to be hot.
H: Well, I already closed the blinds and it's still hot.
PM: It's probably because you people are always wearing those things.
