The Last Supper was NOT catered by Buddy's BBQ or Calhoun's
By: Socialist With ...

Overheard at Italian Market & Grill:

Teen girl: Jesus, I love omelets.
Teen boy: I don't think Jesus would've approved of omelets.
Teen girl: Why not?
Teen boy: Because of the ham. Jews don't eat ham.
Teen girl: He wasn't a Jew, He was a Christian. His name is Jesus H. Christ, not Jesus H. Jew. God, you're so stupid.

Happy Rosh Hashanah.

H?

Submitted by mpower1952 on Sat, 2006/09/23 - 3:05pm.

I wonder if she has an opinion on what the H stands for?

We're doomed.

Your are kidding of course but some people believe that. Take any average teenager at any point in time and they will do or say incredibly stupid things. I did. Odds are everyone else did too. The hope is that if they live through their teen years they become adults and do less stupid things over time. The sad thing is the ones that never grow up. They can make a mess of things. Somehow they gravitate to politics.

Yes, I'm kidding.

ot- does the H actually stand for something or is it just one of those things?

I don't use that particular colloquialism, or is it a blasphemy?

Wikipedia has some pretty goofy speculations on the subject.

Check out this list of minced oaths. Who knew that Loony Toons favorites  "Jumping Jehoshaphat" and "Sufferin' Succotash" had religious overtones.

Hey, Les, why don't we just call each other assholes and get it over with. - Somebody on the old Southknoxbubba.net (if that was you, claim your quote and win net.fame!)

Ah, Les, one of my favorites is there:

"Godfrey Daniel!" - uttered by W. C. Fields to twart the efforts of the Hays Code.

"Mother of Pearl!  What fiendish plot will they resort to next?"

My wife told a story about

Submitted by mwr on Sun, 2006/09/24 - 9:43am.

My wife told a story about another student at community college. This young lady was planning on some sort of missionary life after she got her degree, and was a member of the Church of Christ or similar denomination. Apparently, she had a problem with Catholics. Why? Because according to her, the Catholics killed Jesus.

Swear to God. I know you won't believe me.

Are American parents just lousy bowlers?

Submitted by redmondkr on Sun, 2006/09/24 - 11:20am.

A friend* once likened the raising of a child to bowling with the first teen year being the foul line.  The parent/bowler must do everything possible to properly aim the ball ahead of that line because, after that, he or she can only cringe and watch should it land in the gutter.

A lot of American parents are apparently just lousy bowlers.

*Neither of us is a parent or a bowler.

I remember an old song I was

Submitted by redmondkr on Tue, 2006/09/26 - 12:19pm.

I remember an old song I was exposed to when I young.  There was a line in it about "what's the matter with kids today?"

WBIR's web site has this article that some kid will find challenging to explain.
