Juvenile humour...

For some reason a couple of silly little things popped into my mind today. Both deal with silly humour that made my chuckle and I'd thought I'd share....

When I was around 10 years old I used to get dragged out grocery shopping with my mom. Keep in mind this was nearly 40 years ago (pre Tylenol poisonings in Chicago) so there was no extra security seals on any of the packaging. Well, being a young, bored kid I would go to the cooler section where the Cool Whip was stored. I would open one of the round Cool Whip containers and using my finger I would spell out: Hi ! in big letters in the Cool Whip. I still giggle to myself thinking about people opening those containers when they got home....

And in more recent years.... I read somewhere about someone who started signing the Gideon's bibles left in hotel rooms. I thought that was brilliant so I started doing the same. Every hotel that I have stayed at in the last decade has a bible that is signed on the title something along the lines of:

All the Best,

God

Totally silly but both of these things still make me smile to myself....

You only grow up once in life but you can be immature forever....

"Judaism, Christianity and Islam have mythical origins..."

Interesting article in today's Toronto Star about a Muslim scholar who says that according to his research all 3 of the big religions have mythical origins - including Moses, Jesus & Muhammad.... (and don't forget the Holy Trinity of the Toothfairy, Easterbunny & Santa Claus).

(God) Money quotes from the article:

"God doesn't write books. All the various sacred books are the product of human minds and experiences."

"Religion should never contradict reason," he says. "I could never accept any doctrine or belief that goes against my rational mind."

Amen to that brother... Should be good fodder for some riots and death threats somewhere....
