(Bigot and Contrary have a coffee.)

They say women cannot make sushi because their hands are too warm.
You don’t like Japanese.
I'm saying women can’t make sushi.
Because of their hands?
Yes!
Why?
They are too warm.
Women’s hands are warmer then men’s?
Yes
Are you sure you don’t mean women have warmer personalities than men do?
No, women’s hands are physically warmer.
Suppose that is true, which it isn’t, what difference could one or two degrees possibly make?
All the difference in the world.
How?
Well warmer hands cook the fish while they handle it and sushi needs to be super raw when served.
And women are that much warmer then men?
Yes
What about a woman with poor circulation?
Shut up
Why are they called sushi chefs anyway?
That's what they do.
Chefs cook stuff. You just said they don’t cook anything they just chop it up. Why aren’t they called Sushi butchers or fish butchers or simply fishmongers?
What?
It’s not like when you go to the butcher to buy steaks and burgers you call him a barbeque chef is it?
Women can’t make sushi.
You don’t even like sushi.
I don’t even like Japanese people.
