Did I Say Something Wrong Dept...

I travel a lot for my business and, in doing so, I meet a lot of people.  This past weekend I was working a trade show.  A nice gentleman walked into my booth and totally ignored anything to do with my business.

"Scholars say that Christ was probably born in April," he informed me in all seriousness,  "And, yet, we celebrate his birthday in December.  Do you know why that is?"

I smiled. "They wanted to keep the pagans happy," I answered, "so they moved it to coincide with their festivals."

He gave me a grin.  "Ah, an informed Christian!"

I bit my lip and only smiled in return.  I felt it best to be polite.

"You must be an Episcopalian."

I shook my head, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, but no, I'm not."

His face darkened.  "Oh,"  and off he went.

Sheesh.
