Leave me alone or I'll throw bacon at you

I imagine that works better against tzimchonim.

That was kinda funny and so lame of the kiruv guy. If someone says they aren't Jewish, walk away. Imagine if that was a Christian telling him to accept Christ as his lord and savior, I'm sure that kiruv guy would have been quite upset.

(and no, it wasn't a Jesus joke, that comment was serious :) )

What's the point of talking a Christian into accepting "Christ" as his lord and saviour?

This reminds me of the classic Purim parody "Not The Jewish Press" (early 80s). It had an item on a new chabad outreach initiative to gentiles, which described them driving around in "B'nai Noach Arks" asking passersby if they are "Bnai Noach". Those who responded in the affirmative were then queried: "have you not killed today?" "have you not eaten a limb from a live animal today?", and were invited to not kill, etc., under chabad supervision. As the Mastercard commercials say, priceless!

My fella keeps threatening to pick up our (future) children from Hebrew school and give bacon in baggies to all their friends.

I've tried to explain that isn't a good idea. Around here, there's women that will kill you if they catch you feeding nitrates to their precious kinderlach.
