Banter with this one resthome resident who had been a professor.

The other week I was chit-chatting with this one (Jewish) resthome resident who had been a professor and who had gotten her doctorate from a Jesuit university.

"You know what they say about the Jesuits, don't you?", I was like.  "Si itis cum Iesuitis, non cum Iesu itis."

And, since she doesn't know Latin, I translated it for her:

"If you walk with the Jesuits, you don't walk with Jesus."

(It's punchier in Latin.)

"But I'm not Christian," she was like, "So I'm very happy to walk with the Jesuits."
