Windex and American Greeks

yoshmyster

I was watching "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and I wondered if this Windex thing was true. Also wondered if Windex was the cure for COVID?

The original Windex had a dilute solution of ammonia, beside being mostly water. 

Go down to wally world, and buy a couple bottles of original Windex. Chugalug them, and get back to us with the results.

The movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding is not far from the truth.  My oldest son married into a Greek family. And of course he converted to the Greek Orthodox religion.

My wife and I were like the son's parents in the movie. Like in the movie they were given a house as a wedding present but it was a lot fancier and bigger than the one in the movie and the wedding reception was something to behold. They rented the convention center at the world's fair site in Knoxville, TN for the reception. The place was packed and there was more booze and food at that party than I've ever seen.  When it comes to weddings and partying nobody does it like the Greeks! The church they were married in was something else too.

A Greek wedding as far as food and booze is only exceeded by a Polish wedding!!  A good friend from back in my college days was Polish and took me home with him a few times.  John told me he had never been to a Polish wedding that the reception WASN'T broken up by the cops.  I honestly didn't believe him.  A while later he asked if I would like to go home with him for the weekend and attend a cousins wedding.
If I'ma lyin I'ma dyin!!  After about 2 1/2 hours into the reception the fighting started.  Sure enough, the cops closed down the reception.     

I have attended services at a Greek Orthodox church many times.  My wife is Russian Orthodox.  When we got married there were no Russian Orthodox churches in our area so we went to the Greek church instead.

Obviously you hadn't watch the movie. Dude sprayed it on everything as a cure all. Then again you must be one of those people who believed Trump told you to ingest disinfectants. Try a few Tide Pods while you wait for me to get the Windex.

Meh.  Professional window washers use a small amount of dish detergent in a bucket of water.  That's good enough for me.

If you believe that movie stunts are real, you are beyond help.
