ONCE UPON A TIME….

….. a very long time ago in a far distant land, a man was walking along when he came upon a crowd of people who each held stones in their hands. In the middle of the crowd was a man that the crowd was yelling abuse at and threatening to stone him to death.
The man pushed his way thru the crowd and he held out his arms to stop and quieten the crowd.
‘Whoever amongst you is without sin, you may cast the first stone.’
As he was speaking, a stone came flying thru the air and with one hit, killed the man stone dead. A woman had come forward and thrown her stone.
Jesus turned to her and said: ‘Oh Mother! Sometimes you really piss me off!’

I second LizzieK8: Bwahahahahaha!

But I'm guessing some of your readers will be offended. ;)

Different things offend different people, I suppose. I thought it was funny. It reminds me of some "real" families I've known. What offends me is people who, in the name of whateve religion to which they subscribe, murder people who believe differently from them and cover up abuse by members in the name of _______ (insert diety name here).

WereGrouch, Lizzie and Yarnhog, I'm with you.

I laughed out loud when I read this and gladly toss my vote in with the others. It was funny.

Bfore you get accuesed of hosting a site comprising anti-xtian jokes, here's a pagan one:

Q: How many Garderian witches does it take to change a light bulb?

A: I'm sorry, that's third degree knowledge...

I've heard it before, but I really like it!

For the woman who finds it "offensive": too bad you can't take it. While it's a joke, it is totally consistent with your religion. If you believe that Mary was without sin, then she had every right to throw the first stone! I suggest a bit of consistency, either inform yourself and follow the religion you "believe in" (apparently without actually reading the relevant materials ( especially about being without sin before you criticize others, as in the Bible) or create your own misguided humorless religion for the uninformed. Personally, I'm quite sure that Jesus would have found the joke pretty funny, although not the deed. But then, he didn't associate with the "holier than thou" religious zealots of his time, and probably wouldn't associate with those of this time, either.

Response to "Steve". Gardnarians sit in the dark, because changing a light bulb isn't in the "traditional" materials.!

Oh, Colin, sorry, but I just broke out laughing out loud! I very seldom do that, but your joke just caught me completely off-guard. I haven't heard this one before; it's a good one!
