OK, I am announcing this day as “Humor Day”. Serious discussion can still continue, but I am inviting humor from every perspective. Good hearted, clean (please), pointed, self demeaning, all kinds of humor. No taking offense, save it for tomorrow. Let’s laugh a little and remember we are all in the same family!!

I don’t have a sense of humor.
So a priest, a rabbi, and a pastor walk into a bar…nevermind.
Unfortunately, I will be in a freakin’ meeting that I have to leave for soon all afternoon, which is about the most unfunny thing I can think of. Who schedules a meeting for 1pm on a Friday?
So a priest, a rabbi, and a pastor walk into a bar and the bartender says “Hey, what is this; a joke?”
So a Calvinist and an Arminian walked into a MacDonalds. The Calvnist says to the cashier “You make the choice for me”. The Arminian gazes at the menu and says “So much to choose from!”
Rick, that is HOT! I LIKE it!
John Wesley’s mantra – There’s a Method to my Madness.
A.W. Tozer was having a swimming pool installed at his house. When shown the plans he says, “Make it a lot deeper!”.
I’m not laughing yet.
As John Calvin and his fiance stood at the altar the preacher asked, “John, do you take this woman to be your wife?”.
John replies, “I’m not sure I can”.
A Sunday School teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, “And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?”
One bright little girl replied, “Because people are sleeping.”
LEAVE INGRID ALONE!
Now don’t make me go out and buy a camcorder and a yellow curtain. Just LEAVE HER ALONE.
Two siamese twins get saved. Eventually one espouses the health and wealth dcotrine while the other takes a vow of poverty. And you think you have problems!
An emergent and a Baptist get into a car accident. They both get out of their cars and stumble over to the side of the road.
The Emergent says, “Holy Cow! What a wreck!”
The Baptist asks the Emergent, “Are you all right?”
The Emergent responds, “Just a little shaken.”
The Baptist pulls a pint of Guinness from his coat and says, “Here, drink some of this it will calm your nerves.”
The Emergent is so shaken that he takes pint and downs it and says, “Well, what are we going to tell the police?”
“Well,” the Baptist says, “I don’t know what your going’ to be tellin’ them. But I’ll be tellin’ them I wasn’t the one drinkin’.”
Good one, Mike.
A Sunday school teacher asked her class of seven year olds, “Where does Jesus live?”
One little boy quickly raised his hand and said, “Jesus lives in my bathroom!”.
The teacher replied, “Why Johnny, why would you say that?”.
The little boy replied, “Because every morning my Daddy pounds on our bathroom door and shouts, “Jesus, are you still in there!”
Farmer McCarthy lived for many years with only his dog for a companion. One sad day he found his dog dead from old age. He went to his local church and asked if services could be said for his dog.
The good father said “oh no, we can’t have services for a dog here, but there’s a new age church down the street that might be wiling.”
“Father do you think $50,000 might be enough of a donation?” asked farmer McCarthy.
“Well man , why didn’t you tell me your dog was a Christian!”
A man went to his rabbi and said “Rabbi, things are so bad right now. I have no money, my children have almost nothing to eat, and have been forced into begging. Things could not be any worse. What should I do?”
His rabbi thought for a moment and said “Go buy a goat.”
Confused, the man left.
A week later, the man returned to his rabbi. “Rabbi,” he said, “Nothing has improved. I sold what little I had left to buy a goat. The stupid thing keeps us awake most of the night, it steals food from my children and it has made a mess of our house. What on earth should I do?”
“Go sell the goat”
Humor day, isn’t it great to just wallow in humor? I mean I could talk about the shallow scholarship of Chris Lyons but I won’t. I could be questioning the sanity of Iggy but not today. I could reveal that Tim does all the housework in his home but I will refrain. I could point out that Nathan is in a cult but I’ll pass for now. I could show Phil Johnson that there will be no photoshop graphics in heaven but why say that today?
It’s Humor Day!
I could imagine Ken worshiping next to Rob Bell in heaven but I won’t do that today. I might think about wanting to be next to Ingrid in heaven during the half hour of silence, but maybe tomorrow. And I’d love to think about walking into glory with Jim Bulbitz and discover all the new truth there, but nope, that is not for today.
Remember class, it’s Humor Day. Duck! Incoming!!
a panda walks into a restaurant and asks for a hamburger, fries and a shake. The waiter, shocked and confused, brings the panda out his meal. The panda finishes his meal, pulls out a gun, shoots the waiter and walks out.
The detective that came, was so confused by the crime scene. There was clearly no motive. He decided that he should do some research on the killer, so he grabs an encyclopedia. then is was all clear! The entry read:
Panda: Originally from the China region. Eats shoots and leaves.
David….THAT was hilarious!
I can imagine God sitting before all the redeemed and He says,
“Before I give out my rewards I would like Suzanne Lyons to come forward!â€
Suzanne walks up to the throne fearful and astounded that she was called. God continues,
“Suzanne, I give you the first and greatest reward for true faithfulness in the face of incredible sufferingâ€.
Suzanne says, “Lord, what suffering?â€
God says, “You were married to Chris Lyons, well done thou good and faithful servant!â€
How about both funny and informative? And, of course, this one.
No worries – a friend tipped me off on these, since Suzanne won’t let me watch South Park…
Now I think I get David’s joke, right? Leave Brittney alone? That was funny Jimmy!
Leave Rick alone, all he did was try and steer you away from Calvin into the light of Scripture, so LEAVE RICK ALONE!!!
Did I get the gist of the joke?
Mike Corley commented here. We were all civil, he was civil. It was nice. When is Rick gonna be on the show?
Chris L., that was a classic! I almost didn’t get offended by the “a” word, does that mean I’m growing?!

Henry Rick,
You beat me to it! I was going to just put in a plug for my Sainthood with the above “joke” as an example. Yours was much better! I am so glad that you will all be there to give testimony to my cross that I bear!

Ok, I just had to de-spam my comment. You can bet Chris and I will have a chat tonight!
FYI – Zan is short for Suzanne who of course is Chris Lyon’s wife. She is also the den mother of thos blog. Great cookies Zan!
I know a worship leader for an SBC church who used to rile his congregation, as he would tell a “baptist” joke before beginning the song service.
So don’t blame me.
His favorite one was ;
“Being baptist doesn’t mean you won’t sin, it just means that you can’t enjoy it.”
He also told me this one;
A Baptist missionary became stranded after crash-landing on a desert island while on his way to his assignment. He was quite alone
Three years later, by divine intervention, he was found.
The rescue party noticed a small hut up the hill from the beach.
They asked “what is that?”
:My house”, the man replied
They then noticed another larger hut further up the hill.
“What’s that?”
The man said, “oh that’s my church”
The rescuers were quite impressed, and then noticed another structure across the way from them.
“And what is that?” they asked.
The missionary replied, “oh that?
That’s the church I used to belong to, they’re all hypocrites!.”
Good stuff here.
Thanks Chris P., do you like my edit? I’ll get you back tomorrow!!
A Christian Church minister and a Baptist minister are talking.
The Baptist minister says: “OK. What if a guy walks the isle, makes a public confession. Standing at the edge of the baptistry, he has a heart attack and dies. Is he saved?
The Christian Church minister doesn’t miss a beat: “Depends on which way he falls.”
Keith that was great. I hope you’re listening Tim!
Good addition!
Hey I do on occasion fellowship with some Baptist folk. Incognito of course. 
The real question is – Has Julie laughed yet?
Jimmy wins so far. “He’s got medals on his chest…and he’s done stuff!” That’s stinkin’ HILARIOUS!
“The real question is – Has Julie laughed yet? ”

Here are some good ones from my friend Chuck Girard.
When the family returned from Sunday morning service, father criticized the sermon, daughter thought the choir’s singing was atrocious, and mother found fault with the organist’s playing.
The small boy of the family piped up, “But it was a good show for a quarter, don’t you think, Dad?”
TOP TEN THINGS PEOPLE WON’T SAY WHEN THEY SEE YOUR CHRISTIAN BUMPER STICKER OR MORE SUBTLE FISH SYMBOL ON YOUR CAR:
10. “Look! Let’s stop that car and ask those folks how we can become Christians.”
9. “Don’t worry Billy, those people are Christians — they must have a good reason for driving 90 miles an hour.”
8. “What a joy to be sharing the highway with another car of Spirit-filled brothers and sisters.”
7. “Isn’t it wonderful how God blessed that Christian couple with a brand-new BMW?”
6. “Dad, how come people who drive like that don’t get thrown in jail?”
“Son, that driver is a Christian and God probably protects him from getting arrested.”
“Dad, can we get a bumper sticker like that too?”
5. “Stay clear of those folks Martha. If they get raptured, that car’s gonna be all over the road!”
4. “Oh look! That Christian woman is getting a chance to share Jesus with a police officer.”
3. “No, that’s not litter coming out of their windows Bert, it’s probably gospel tracks for the road workers.”
2. “Oh boy, we’re in trouble now! We just rear-ended one of God’s cars.”
1. “Quick Alice, honk the horn or they won’t know that we love Jesus!”
There was a man trying to understand God, so he asked Him, “God, how long is a million years to you?”
God answered, “A million years is like a minute.”
Then the man asked, “God, how much is a million dollars to you?”
God replied, “A million dollars is like a penny.”
The man thought for a short time and asked, “God, will you give me a penny?”
“In a minute,” God responded.
Great Chris P.. I especially enjoyed the last one.
How many Baptists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Change?!? Baptists don’t change!
There was an old man traveling through the Mountains of Tenn. It was Sunday morning and he wanted to worship. The only church he could find was Baptist. Non-plussed he decided to attend anyhow.
The pastor who had direct ties relationally to the prince of preachers gave a Hell (literal of course), fire and brimstone message about why everyone should be a Baptist.
The church then sang 1,356,874 verses of Amazing Grace. The Pastor stood up front and asked, “After hearing my compelling message today is there anyone here who isn’t Baptist.”
The Little Old Man tentatively raised his hand.
“What! How can that be? Didn’t you hear my message?”
“Well, sure I heard you, but I’m not Baptist, I’m Lutheran.”
“Why in the world would you be Lutheran?”
The old man scratched his chin and said, “Well My great granddaddy was Lutheran, my granddaddy was Lutheran, my Daddy was Lutheran, it just seems to naturally follow that I’d be Lutheran.”
The Baptist preacher’s neck was red. “No, no, no, you’ve got this all wrong. Imagine if all of your ancestors were idiots, what would that make you?”
The little old man looked puzzled, then a big grin spread across his face.
“I know! I’d be a Baptist.”
Chris: Can I add one more…this actually happened to me. “Look, they’re waving at us with the One Way Jesus sign.” “Uh, son. That’s not the finger you think it is.” (Sorry, I know. A little off color)
Joe: that should be “then sang ALL 1,356,874 verses of Just As I Am…with every head bowed and every eye closed!” “Amen. I see that hand…”

The story is told of the Atheist who accosted a preacher. “Do you believe in eternal life?” The preacher has no time to reply. “Well its a load of rubbish!” shouted the Atheist. “I believe in science, evolution, survival of the fittest, and when we die, that’s it! No eternal life, no great judgement, and no God!” The Atheist continues his assault against the preacher repetitiously and tirelessly. “Eternal life! Eternal life! Ha! “Its all pie in the sky when you die.” When I die that’s it, the end, no eternal life, no nothing. He continues, until he reaches his climax, “I will be buried six feet under when I die and that’s it! Nothing! Caput! When I die I am utterly convinced that that will be the end of me!” “Well thank God for that” replies the preacher!

Chris L….the SouthPark one on Mormonism was HILARIOUS…dum dum dum dum dum..
If I may submit a joke with a Catholic flavor to it (though I deny all claims of being neo-Roman, and don’t agree with the theology behind it).
JESUS came upon a small crowd who had surrounded a young woman they believed to be an adulteress. They were preparing to stone her to death. Jesus said: “Whoever is without sin among you, let them cast the first stone.â€
An old lady at the back of the crowd picked up a huge rock and lobbed it at the young woman, scoring a direct hit on her head. The young lady collapsed dead.
Jesus looked over towards the old lady and said: “Do you know, mother, sometimes you really tick me off.â€

yeah it is the same Chuck Girard. You are right, he does have quite a story. I met him in 1986 and have had him out to the churches I went to; first in Az, then Colorado, and he has made several trips to our church on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico.
He comes here to stock up on green chiles.
I reccomend his cd, Name Above All Names; extremely scriptural and prophetic.
A man going to a costume party was dressed as the devil. His car broke down in front of a church having a service. He quietly made his way to the back of the auditorium. One by one the place grew quiet and everyone turned around to look at him.
A little old lady in the front pew got up and walked back to the devil dressed man. She cupped her hand over her mouth and whispered, “Just so you know, I’ve been on your side all these years.”

In Case of Rapture I Was Wrong
At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam’s ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johnny what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, “I have a pain in my side. I think I’m going to have a wife.”
A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom.
The little boy turned to his mother and said, “Mama, I don’t want to go out there. It’s dark.”
The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. “You don’t have to be afraid of the dark,” she explained. “Jesus is out there. He’ll look after you and protect you.”
The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, “Are you sure he’s out there?”
“Yes, I’m sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him,” she said.
The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, “Jesus? If you’re out there, would you please hand me the broom?”
Ok…last one…
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though they were a very large mammal their throat was very small.
The little girl stated Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
The teacher reiterated a whale could not
swallow a human; it was impossible.
The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”
The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”
The little girl replied, “Then you ask him.”

A pastor is walking with Peter in heaven when he notices a door to a room that has a sign that reads, “please do not disturb”.
The pastor asks as he walks to the door, “what’s in here?”
Peter quickly stops the pastor and says, “be very quiet, this is where all the pentecostals are, they think they are the only ones here”.
Peace!
Did you here about the Charismatic cannibal? He threw his hands up.
Very funny!
A man gets to heaven and while walking the grounds he sees Tim Reed walking with an incredibly ugly woman with him. The man asks St. Peter who is this girl with Tim. Peter tells the man that since Tim did not lead such a sanctified life that ugly girl is his punishment.
The man continues walking and and he suddenly sees Joe Martino walking with a gorgeous woman. The man says to Peter,
“How come Joe gets such a beautiful woman, he didn’t lead such a sanctified life?”
Peter replies, “No, you misunderstand, Joe is that woman’s punishment!”

Three pastors decided to take a day off to fellowship with each other and “recharge” their ministerial batteries. They decided to go fishing. After sitting in the boat for some time, enjoying the peace and quiet of God’s creation, they began to share with each other about the joys and struggles of ministry…laughing with eachother, crying with eachother, advising eachother.
After the sharing had gone on for awhile, one of the pastors looked at the other two and said, “Brothers, I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed this time together. In fact, I really feel like I can trust you men and can open up to you about my deepest struggles.”
At this, the other two whole-heartedly agreed and said they felt the same way. The first pastor continued, “I want to tell you both something that I have not told anyone before. I have stolen from my church. When the offering is taken, I pocket money from the plates. I know I shouldn’t and I know it is wrong. Could you please pray with me about this sin in my life?”
The other two pastors bowed their heads and prayed with the first. The prayer ended and after a few minutes of silence the second pastor began to speak. “I can’t believe that I can finally open up and share my burden with someone. I have been keeping this in for so long, living with the fear that it might be discovered. I have been having an affair with a woman in my church for several months. In fact, I have also had affairs with other women in my church over the last few years. Nobody knows, but it has been killing me inside. Would you guys pray for me?”
The two listening pastors pray with the adulterous one and ended the time of prayer with a hearty “Amen!”
After several minutes of silence, the two pastors who had shared their deepest secrets looked at the third, expecting him to do the same. The third pastor didn’t meet their gaze at first but eventually looked up and said, “O.K., o.k. Fine! I’ll share. I have a problem with gossip. I can’t help myself. I do it all the time. Now if you don’t mind, I don’t want to mess with the whole time-in-prayer thing. I really want to get back in to town so I can make some phone calls!”
Scott – and oh how true and funny. One man’s gossip is another man’s righteous exposé.

Rick,
I was actually going to end that joke with “I reallly want to get back in to town so I can make some phone calls to the prayer chain!” However, I thought that reference might be a little obscure. A good friend who is married to the worship pastor at our church jokes about the number of times that as the pastor’s wife she has heard gossip passed off as something like, “Oh, and we need to remember to pray for so-and-so because of what happened last week between her and her husband…”
As you said, funny but true (and sad).
I can’t join in this hilarity because I cannot remember punch lines.
Ever.

Rick,
Somehow my question got edited, so one word:
Scoreboard
(Since you’re older I ‘ll explain that. It means Pens State mopped the field with your glee club)
OK, Joe. Humor has its limits and you’ve just crossed it.
Go Irish…PLEASE!
Rick, just speaking for many of us here in Indiana, we wish the Irish would go, as well. Preferably back to Ireland…
I believe in A Generous Scoreboard.
Please, to lose to Michigan will devastate us. We need mercy here. If the Irish lose (my mother’s maiden name was McCourt) I will think Mary has lost her power.
QWhat kind of battery does it take to shock a Michigan Wolverine?
A 1 AA
Did you hear about the Homeschool mom that was arrested in Indiana? She drove all the way to South Bend to pick up her 12 boys. Charlie Weiss said he needed all 12 of them for a few more weeks yet. 11 to **ahem** play and 1 to video tape the other teams coaches.
Niiiiice Joe.
How about this:
Q: Where was O.J. hiding right before the famous white Bronco chase?
A: On the University of Michigan campus. That’s the last place you would find a football player.
3 College coaches all drive the same type of car: Ohio State’s Coach, USC’s Coach, and App State’s Coach. Can you name that car?
If you said, “Lloyd” you’d be the winner!
Mr and Mrs. Carr were debating what to name their little tyke when finally Mr. Carr said, “Shoot honey, let’s just name him Lloyd and get those two L’s out of the way early.”
Joe after the invitation you emailed to me and reading your UofM jokes I don’t really think we should get together.
“Hail to the Viccers”
Now, that hurts my feelings.
Rick…I am an Irish fan myself…but…I don’t think they have a prayer this weekend.
Ok…being that I am in Texas and my son is a HUGE UT fan…here is the best Texas joke ever….
What keeps Texas from falling in the ocean? Oklahoma sucks! (can I say that here?)
How do we know the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky?
Anywhere else and it’d be called the teethbrush.
Three constants of the religious spectrum:
1. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah.
2. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the infallible head of the Church.
3. Mennonites do not recognize each other when drinking beer at Hooter’s.
(Disclaimer: I’m married to a Mennonite. She told me the joke in the first place.)
Thank you everyone for making humor day a big success. A merry heart doeth good like medicine. At this juncture I would like everyone to scan the jokes and comical statements and U-Tube links and vote for:

A couple things:
1. Henry Rick, I cannot even fathom, after how hard you talk AGAINST the RCC, that you are actually a ND fan? How on God’s green earth can that happen???
2. Jimmy, if you were a serious Texan, you would be an Aggies fan. You’ll have to answer to God for allowing your son to be a longhorn. Hope you like the heat!
3. I want the bumper sticker “In Case of Rapture I Was Wrong”. Where can I get one of those!?!
4. I don’t really get the whole baptists drinking thing. I grew up around Lutherans. My Grandma always kept “shorties” in her fridge, which was “just fine, cuz it was just a little can”. She was quite funny when she got a little tipsy!
5. my votes:
Gold:Tim Reed’s from 12:45 pm with Jesus’ mother stoning the prostitute – I could just picture the holy hand on the holy hip with a “what in the world were you thinking?” look on his face!
Silver: Keith from 12:35 “Joe: that should be “then sang ALL 1,356,874 verses of Just As I Am…with every head bowed and every eye closed!†“Amen. I see that hand…â€
Bronze:would be a combination of Henry Rick (7:03 pm) and Chris L (8:56 pm) – I guess it’s all in where you put the comma! (go, please vs. please, go – for all you ND fans!)
You guys know I love you, right?

Hail to the Victors Valiant…Well there hasn’t been much to sing about this year. So I’ll take it when I can get it.
ND; not an offensive touchdown yet. WOW! It’s sad really!
How did Charlie Weiss get such a huge extension?

I am also saddened by the Irish loss. I went to school at ND (grad school – undergrad was at Rick’s favorite place: Calvin College). What makes it even worse is that I work with two other guys at the office, one graduated from MSU, and the other from U of M.
Oh yeah, and with my schooling history, bet you can’t guess what denomination I grew up in.

I’m just scared that after seeing some of my schooling history, Chris L will place me on moderation and my comments will be lost. As well as all my trivia points I’ve racked up from Rick (you do keep track, right?).
Chris went to Purdue, he has no moderation legs to stand on. That school’s mascot is a drink!
Actually, the drink came AFTER the school – not the other way around… For the Purdue fan, the only true, deep-seated “hatred” (if you will) is held for a certain school down south of here, the-school-which-must-not-be-named (at least in our household).
Let me consult Rob Bell for a dialectic reinvestigation of the word “hatred”. Our household actually hold out a “generous collegian” toward all Big Ten schools in that we might one day join. And we in Tampa have a soft place in our heart for Mike Alstott who graced the campus of the gold and black.
So for now we at ND accept you as legitimate, but that will not keep us from demolishing you this year, even while we are rebuilding! I am willing to wager, whoever loses must buy and ship a $20.00 or less book of the winner’s choice. You probably will want the book “The Mysticism of the Essenes”.
I might want “The Secret Choices Calvin Struggled With.”.
My younger son, Jordan, would likely inform you that his father only wagers on 100% sure things (such as ‘what is the capital of Florida?’, and not ‘who will win the Florida – Ohio State game?’*)
While he has been consistently on the losing end of this deal, his father has avoided the financial calamaties of having his heart dictate his wagering (which it inevetibly would do).
*after a severe bit of ribbing, goading and prying, I did once engage in a $1 wager (with a resident of Tampa, ironically) on a Colts-Steelers game. While it was one of the most miserable 3-hours spent of my life, the $1 bill is framed and sitting in my office, as a reminder to never do such a thing again…
Chris – You are entrenched in the old ways and not open to the excitement of gambling! I do not gamble but When I see ND and Purdue I will enjoy every minute of it. Irishmen drink Biolermakers for breakfast!!
I’ve drank a few boilermakers in my day. Never for breakfast though. Henry, How come you wouldn’t offer me the same bet? I would have even given you the spread!
My friends call me Rick…
Irishmen drink Biolermakers for breakfast!!
Thus the 0-3 record? I suppose that would be a good explanation…
Why did God invent whiskey?
To keep the Irish from taking over the world.
I’m starting a new blog called:
Old National Championships
In that case, ahem Henry, the question still stands. How can any true Christian Football Fan be a friend of yours? What business does light have with darkness? How can two walk together unless they both agree?
Notre Dame
Our Lady
Scot McKnight
See the connection?
I think you should call it Olde Nationale Championshipe.
OK, here is my question from someone who clearly is computer illiterate, how did Jim copy the picture from Chris’s logo? Rick Ianiello posted a comic strip and even provided me with the http and I couldn’t past it to Judah’s Lion.
Oh Rick *shakes head sadly*.
I don’t need pity from someone who we at MENSA would not even take an application from, Tim!
…who we at MENSA…
I’ve never seen you at a meeting.
“I’ve never seen you at a meeting.”
I’m in administration, the meetings are run by grunts.

You see, as a Penn State fan, there are certain levels of MENSA that you can never be admitted into.
Yes, thank you Shua. The Penn State members provide refreshments.
Typical Jesuit…overestimating one’s worth. One word: Scoreboard (can you count that high?)
I know you’re smart enough to count at least as high as 3 losses.
eins, zwei, drei…
Who do you cheer for Shua?

Just to comment four times in a row: I’m not running from this discussion, but I must now go and moonlight as a molder of young(er) minds. I will be available to continue this vastly important debate tomorrow. HUMOR DAY SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!!!
Let’s see, Notre Dame has an enrollment 1/5 of most major universities, most athletes cannot pass the academic requirements, and we never cheat.
And yet we put a legitimate program on the field.
The modern day Book of Acts!
And yet we put a legitimate program on the field.
That’s at least debatable.
When did you go there? I had a friend that played QB for them in the 90’s.

I was there from 1998-2001 for grad school.
By the way, good points, Rick.

[...] Apparently one of the mysterious “editors” (hiding behind anonymity, of course), is completely blind and obtuse to logic and contextual criticism. Whoever the “editor” is, also must have missed Humor Day two weeks ago (see my link midway down the thread), along with the post on my website nearly a month ago. [...]
