We were in Parshah class and my teacher was trying to explain something. She says
"I know this is hard to understand, but some
people, who don't know anything about Jews,
say that we have horns."
Everyone in my class just burst out laughing. Horns? HORNS?! My teacher went on about how to them it makes perfect sense, that Jews have horns, but to us it's utterly ridiculous. My friends started making jokes about it, saying like
"Yes! I DO have horns! They're growing in right here!"
"I'll ask my brother about his horns when I go home"
"one time, this guy came to my brother and said 'lift up your hat I want to see your horns'. He burst out laughing!"
My teacher kept trying to explain why people thought we had horns, but people were rolling on the floor laughing! Someone actually got sent out of class because they just couldn't take it anymore. The reason people thought we had horns, is because the second time Moshe came down from Har Sinia, his face was shining with the Shicheena, so some of the light made it look like he had horns. Later after Moshe's death, a sculpture was made of him with horns. So people concluded that Jew's have horns, and cover them with our yamachas. But still you have to admit, imagine living in a world where everyone has horns!
