Greek Culture Puns

In the kitchen this morning, he tells me: "Dad, you know the Spartans were really fierce, and they'd throw away old weapons. They thought that if it wasn't sharp, it didn't have a point."

Well we introduced sex to women

Greek yogurt has a rich cultural history

Greek yogurt culture.

While talking about how one of my students is Greek, my brother snarkily asked "Like the yogurt?" My response was "Yes, she's very cultured."

We're a thoroughly American family with German/Danish roots. For fun we went to a Greek culture festival as a different kind of Friday night. As soon as we're through the gate, he turns to my youngest brother and mutters:

"Everything seems so...foreign."

He was so pleased with himself that he repeated it to each one of us separately.

the mum: Yeah, it's not like melbourne there, where here you see chinese shops, indian shops, greek shops etc...there, it's all maltese

me: oh I dont know, I've found Malta to be very Malta-cultural

Noone took notice of it, but my brother looked back at me as if to say "you sly dog, you"

So my younger brother was talking about his Latin class and how on Fridays his teacher has culture friday, or a lesson on Greek Mythology. He was talking about the myth he learned about last week when my dad replied with this...

Brother: "Last week we learned about syphilis and how he pushes the rock up the hill again and again."

Dad: "I think you mean sisyphus, syphilis was a Greek god but he was a real dick."

I laughed, my mom groaned, and my brother sat there confused. A successful family dinner if you ask me.

I was talking to my parents about what food I can eat in the morning, and how I'm pretty much limited to Greek Yogurt.

"Whats the difference between Greek Yogurt and Regular Yogurt?" Asked my dad.

"The bacteria is more cultured." explained mom

"What does that mean? Do they listen to classical music and frequent the art museum?"
