The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post "Thou shalt not steal," "Thou shalt not commit adultery," and "Thou shalt not lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians.It creates a hostile work environment.(George Carlin)
Cheers,
Paul (A.)
Paul (A.) is one of 'em. Just saying. (Not one of the Ten Commandments - a lawyer!)
I had to laugh when I saw this! there 's a Rabbi who has a blog online and he wondqered in print once why Christians were so adament about the 10CommAndments since, as he neatly pointed out, they are Jewish laws anyhow! Got to admit he has a point!

The rabbis is right.
ReplyDeleteDo note that the late George Carlin (whose 75th birthday would have been today) is the author of this particular bon mot.
ReplyDeleteAs to Mimi's comment, if I were one of the Ten Commandments, I'm not sure which I'd be. I have a soft spot in my heart for the anti-cotton-polyester one, but that never made it into the Top Ten.
I also wish to make a complaint: Blogger now insists that to work properly I must use Google Chrome. How does the world get this damn company to stop "improving" (perhaps more accurately, deproving) the program?
Paul (A.), I will note the birthday and post one of his cleaner jokes.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a Baba Wawa question that I could pose on my blog. If you were one of the Ten Commandments, which would you be? More interesting than a tree, don't you think?
Paul, I post and comment using Firefox. Why would you not be able to comment unless you use Chrome? They may be lying. You know they're all out to get us.
Once b4 when the 'interface' was optional I tried it but it was so bad I tried 'chrome' as a fix. Then I couldn't even see code at all. Yeah. Google is making a power grab and we bloggers are the pawns. I think george would have replaced the whole bible with one co-man'd-meant 'don't be a butt head'. Works for me.
ReplyDeletePaul (A.) is one of the "good guys." Too bad there aren't many more like him!
ReplyDeleteKelli, I tried Google Chrome until it stopped working for me altogether and then switched back to Firefox. Google wants all of you and me, but I'm resisting. On my laptop, AVG Security sneaks in AVG Safe Search periodically, and the feature slows down my computer. I remove it, but it keeps coming back. What's annoying is that I have to relearn how to remove the damned thing each time.
ReplyDeletewhiteycat, if you continue to praise Paul (A.), he will begin to think too highly of himself, and his poor wife will suffer. ;-)
All joking aside, Paul (A.) is a brick.
Would that be one of the bricks the commandments are written on?
ReplyDeleteBonnie, perhaps. Paul (A.) hinted that he wanted to be a commandment.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Paul (A.) will not suffer. I know her and she is more than capable of standing up for herself.
ReplyDeletewhiteycat, that was my little joke. Mrs (Paul A.) and I have met, and I know she can hold her own.
