This may sound stupid but...?!


Question: I am a vegetarian, and have been for a while, my glass bowing teacher knows this and always says this joke. He says " I am a 5th level vegan, I don't eat anything that casts a shadow". This would be impossible wouldn't it? Doesn't everything cast a shadow. I know hes just joking, but still.

Your glass blowing teacher must be a Simpsons fan.
In one of the episodes Lisa tells a guy she's a vegetarian and the guy responds that he's a 5th level vegan - he doesn't eat anything that casts a shadow. Hardee har har.

Of course there is no such thing. It's just a silly joke about the different levels of vegetarianism.

everything casts a shadow

yes it would be impossible everything in this word on this world casts a shadow more correct to say moving shadow

Haha sounds like something my dad would say. Yep, I am pretty sure everything casts a shadow. Lol.

i dont really understand that
but dont fruits n veggies have shadows
if i were u he wouldve been dead
lol no im jokin
but he would get a comment back

not necessarily i mean if it is a cloudy day he'd be able to eat anything

this means he eats at night or in the darkness
i think.....

tell him it can cast a shadow, but I don't eat anything that ever had a face while alive.

not really... when there's no light, there's no shadow..., the plants are taking O2 when there's no light... and that's the time when it cast no shadow

then laugh and tell him you only eat at night, when there is no light to cast shadows.
people are mean in many ways, just show to him it doesn't get you down

The only stupid thing here is your teacher's joke.
EVERYTHING casts a shadow. Yes, even vegetables.
Haha, maybe he's just being dumb, but I hope he really does know that!

Your teacher was referring to the "Lisa The Tree Hugger" episode of The Simpsons:

Lisa: Oh, the earth is the best! That's why I'm a vegetarian.
Jesse: Heh. Well, that's a start.
Lisa: Uh, well, I was thinking of going vegan.
Jesse: I'm a level 5 vegan -- I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

That's a stupid line from the Simpsons.

Blame Matt Groening for that old lame one.

It only means he eats in the dark.

That's a cute way to put it. I enjoy people who are clever.

Krister, Matt Groening doesn't write the show. Some stupid writers came up with that one.
