Very stupid. I’ve never met any vegetarian who wants to ban meat.

I don’t know, man. In New York my girlfriend and I were friends with a couple who had just bought a big old farm in Massachusetts. We had them over for Sunday brunch. I knew Alice was a vegetarian so I made simple bean-and-pepper tacos, with bloody marys to drink. Alice gave her drink a suspicious look.

ALICE: Does this have Worcestershire sauce in it?

ME: It’s a bloody mary. All bloody marys have Worcestershire sauce in them.

ALICE: I can’t drink this.

ME: Um … why?

ALICE: One of the ingredients in Worcestershire sauce is anchovies.

It was on this same occasion that she implored her husband, for what I gathered wasn’t the first time, to buy them a deer rifle. Not to shoot deer, of course, but to shoot deer hunters who strayed onto their new property.
