Really? I am behind the curve.

Reyns a hard man to keep up with joe.

But my thread has a poll.

and everything.

Sometimes that ain't enough...

Poll: The holly jollies have it.

I have the last booger of Christ in a jar in the freezer. There appears to be a tip of a nostril hair embedded therein. A good friend of mine mailed it to me in an envelope about ten years ago. He thought it might jar me loose from my atheist mindset, but it didn't. A few months ago, the friend hinted he wanted it back. I told him the cat ate it. He hasn't been back to visit since then. Hey, a gift's a gift, transferred ownership. I'll have the booger interred with me, just in case I'm mistaken about some things.

you think it's a hedge against eternal damnation....... but itsnot

dear edgar(HOLLYJOLLY)Blythe:

was it given to your friend by an angel?

imo joe should still be given credit for his entry .
with his background , i'm sure he had to wrestle with his conscience and the holy ghost before posting the article and i'm sure that took him more than a few seconds .

Joe, I came across the title of this thread in new posts & felt compelled to come here for the details. I mean, who would do such a thing? Tsk tsk.

You're right, hamburger. It's a little tough giving up things like the Holy Ghost.

(One of my favorite memories was listening to Sister Mary Gilmary explain to us that we wouldn't be using the term "Holy Ghost" anymore. The year was 1961 and someone had decided that "Holy Spirit" was a little easy to swallow, gave a better image than 'Ghost'. So we had to start saying Father, Son and Holy Spirit while doing the Sign of the Cross. It was my first exposure to the Madison Ave sect of the Roman Catholic Church.)

Other tough things to give are:
Having St. Anthony find my car keys.
and
Knowing that I cannot depend upon St. Jude (the Saint of Hopeless Cases) to revive the little girl I read about in this morning's paper. (Years ago I would have placed a little entreaty to him for mercy.)

Still, I do not pass St. Patrick's without going in and lighting a candle for my mother near the statue of the Little Infant of Prague.



My mother's favorite, even though she was Irish to the core, the receiver of Impossible Requests, the words "Ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you." still ring.



Joe(Except now I ask myself instead of ghosts.)Nation

I think someone still has the coonskin of Davy Crockett too.

Does anybody know where all those regular foreskins go? Do they give the cuttings to the dad for safekeeping? Does the Jewish moile keep a little stack of rubberband looking thingies (I mean, I don't know, are they intact loops or does it end up a slice of life, looking a bit like a nice piece of lox?)

Joe(Do I want to know?)Nation

My wife informs me that her mother has her sons foreskin which has been incorporated into a bookmark.

Dad(I'm not sure if this is true)pad. (But knowing her family it could be.)

I believe they're used in plant fertilizers, Joe.
Great for roses, I'm told.


:wink:

Is that why you have to be careful with roses, so you don't get pricked??


Joe(Sorry. I have no self control)Nation

We are all married to this woman's family.

Joe(Seems impossible, but it's true.)Nation

I never thought of that!

You're probably right, you know!
