My favorite is this ever so polite exchange:

"'When may I offer you a slice of this most excellent ham?' Cardinal Vaughan asked the Chief Rabbi. 'At your Eminence's wedding,' he replied."

But there is a saying: "Never dispute with a fool: they might not see the difference."

Maybe it was derived from these:

Proverbs 23:9
Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Proverbs 26:4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

Proverbs 26:5
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

I have never heard the fool and a dispute one but I have heard the one that goes: never wrestle with a pig, you will both get dirty and the pig loves it.

never wrestle with a pig, you will both get dirty and the pig loves it.

Proverbs 29:9
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

Similar, no? ;)

Can't say...those Bible, and other really old, phrases and sayings require too much thinking to understand them. I can uderstand why a pig likes the mud and I wouldn't. But as to why "there is no quiet" requires one to ponder whether that means because the fool never stops talking or because one keeps engaging in the conversation. If one walks away does it then become quiet, or does one just run into another fool? Or maybe the fool is us and we keep the conversation going and why "there is no quiet"!

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.


I couldn't find an applicable proverb... ;)

Damn I hate these...first it tells us "for the gate is wide and the way is easy", THEN it tells us "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard"! Can't they just speak English and say what they mean instead of all these darn riddles! I mean this IS even translated into English, who knows how many translations it went thru though to get there, and it still makes you want to throw up!

P.T. Barnum was an optimist.

He was quite the character, wasn't he? If I remember the story right, in one small town the attendance at the circus wasn't what he thought it should be. So he stacked a pile of bricks on the sidewalk of Main Street. Then, he took all but one of them to the next location and put them there. Then, he left one brick again and took the rest onto the circus grounds, leaving one there and taking the rest to Main Stret, and so on.

A large crowd gathered, following him around and trying to figure out what he was up to. Every time he went onto the Circus grounds, they had to pay admission. And that's what he was up to! LOL

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

George Bush was jogging along the beach when he came upon a Genie's lamp.

He picked it up and rubbed it around, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared!

George was amazed and startled, and asked the genie if he got three wishes?


"No" said the genie "I'm afraid that due to constant down sizing, world stock

market volatility, fierce global competition, deflation and low wages in asian

countries, I can only grant you but one wish sir. So please, what will it be?..."


George didn't hesitate. He said, "There is something near and dear to my heart;

I would like to see peace in the Middle East. Here, see this map? I want all

these countries to stop fighting and make peace among them."


The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Gadzooks, man! These countries have

been at war for thousands of years. The hatred among them runs deep. any have

tried and failed at what you ask. I'm good but not THAT good. I just don't think

it can be done. Please, could you make another wish?"


George thought for a minute, and then said, "Well you know, people just don't

like my wife Barbara. They think she's bad tempered, has a big butt, and pushes

me around too much. I wish for her to be the most beautiful woman in the world

and have everybody really like her. OK, that's what I want."


The Genie let out a long sigh and said, "George, let me see that map again!..."

Damn now I have to think about TWO gates! Why can't that book of yours just go back to its simple ways? Like thou shalt not kill, or thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, or turn the other cheek! This damn two gate stuff is why I am not a religious man! Find me a religion that is simple, easy, truthfull, none of this blowing or rams horns and a whole city comes crashing down stuff, and you will find me at the door. This damn stuff about an ark and some flood that if you weren't on it you died crap, is too damn wierd! Another thing about that damn flood, Noah lived about a thousand years, give or take, after Gilgamish, yet the same story, the flood, happened! God wiped out the World and all its people TWICE! What did he mess up the first two times? If he is all powerful and ALWAYS right and all that crap, how did he make a mistake?! And none of this stuff about 'human nature' and 'human choices' either! I want to be able to drive a car that get 200 miles per gallon of non oil AND do about 100mph while doing it. About 10 years from now we will be able to do that. Why is god hiding this from us if he can let us become SOOOO bad that he needs to find a few chosen few and wipe the rest of us out?! Seems to me his is picking and choosing what he wants us to know and just chose poorly in the beginning. Maybe he is choosing poorly now and we just don't know it yet!

I think is insulting behavior by god and he needs to stop treating us like his children and more like human beings!

I read somewhere mikey (sorry, I forget the source), that nearly every culture all across the world has some kind of flooding/ark style myth. I found that quite interesting.

Every culture all across the world has stories of flying beings that help out mankind, go away, and promise to return one day.

Read Von Daniken

Thanks Chris! I'll look for it next time I'm at the library. I find these cross-culture myths fascinating: that the same myths are shared by, say, the pygmies in Borneo, the North American indians, and early civilization in the Middle East.

Why is that?
