I just had to record this before I forgot. The McAvoy's are known for putting their feet in their mouths. Jon Mark is known for it, so is almost every one of his siblings, and I am as well.
When we were in AZ we went to a small German restaurant in Mesa. By small, I really mean it's about the size of the first floor of my house. All of the tables are placed close together and if you really wanted to (and sometimes I do), you can listen in to the other conversations around you. In fact, it's hard not to. It's a small place that I imagine only German's or those who have lived in Germany go to regularly. My in laws lived in Frankfurt for a time while my father in law was stationed there for the military.
Anyway, now that the setting is set...
I am at the table playing thumb wars with my brother in law, Kevin, as a way to pass the time before our food arrived. He was obviously cheating, although he'd argue that the rules were never clearly outlined. I guess I assumed that everyone would know how to play a simple game of thumb wars... my mistake. We were having a good time when Kevin, on a whim, changed a rule and caught me off guard. I laughed and said (loud enough for anyone to hear who wanted to), "What are you? A Nazi?!" Jon Mark said that the entire restaurant hushed and looked at me. I don't know if he's right or not, I was too embarrassed to look up and quickly recoiled in my seat. But, yes, I called someone a "Nazi" in a German restuarant...
