conversations at work II

Andrey (talking to someone else): I'm 1/4 Ukrainian and 1/2 Russian...

Me (after a suitable pause while trying to work out the math): Um... What happened to the last 1/4?

Andrey: Oh. Jewish, and the right quarter too. It's my mother's mother.... But it's a bit confusing. Russians hate Jews, Jews hate Ukrainians, and Ukrainians hate everybody. I'm not sure what to do...

Me: It's very simple, Andrey--Just be a self-hating Jew.
