Well, you have to admit that you communicate with some real crazies.

Let me tell you a story about Julian Murrill, my father, who was born in 1909 and spent a major portion of his 74 years in the clothing business. As you probably know, a large number of the people in the clothing business are Jewish. My father was not. He was the son of a Methodist preacher and was 100% gentile. But he looked Jewish. He was a handsome man, tall and lean with a Clark Gable mustashe and wavy black hair. (I inherited the black hair, but little else.) And he ran a clothing store on Main Street in Hazard, Kentucky.
To make a long story a little less long, a friend of his overheard two women discussing his store.
One asked the other if she knew that Mr. Murrill was a Jew. The other assured her that indeed he was NOT a Jew.
"Oh yes he is!" she insisted. "His name's Jewian, isn't it?"

So I'm not the only one to jump to a conclusion about Julian.
