Somewhere, Couthness Was Repealed at a Convention I Wasn't Invited To

[SCENE: Le Target, Cafe. NORA is eating. A RANDOM GEEZER is sitting at the next table. VICTORIA puts a little popcorn on a napkin for NORA.]

RANDOM GEEZER: Is she going to eat all that popcorn?

VICTORIA: [slightly taken aback] Um, I don't know. It's up to her.

NORA [to RANDOM GEEZER]: I forgot, are you Jewish or are you Christian?

VICTORIA: [more than slightly taken aback]: NORA!

How could she have forgotten something that she never knew? Or did she just assume, hey, it's Random Geezer---not recognizing that there is more than one Random Geezer.
