Ha, I never knew Spain had mesquite.
My condolences to you on the loss of your friend. Prayers up.
Her Hell is my Heaven.
YOu know, this was covered about a century ago by Ole. Substitute wegetables for da fish, OK? Ya, yu betcha.
When Ole quit farming, he discovered that he was the only Lutheran in his new little town of Catholics. That was okay, but the neighbors had a problem with his barbecuing beef every Friday. Since they couldn’t eat meat on Friday, the tempting aroma was getting the best of them. Hoping they could do something to stop this, the neighbors got together and went over to talk to Ole. “Ole,” they said, “since you are the only Lutheran in this whole town and there’s not a Lutheran church for many miles, we think you should join our church and become a Catholic.” Ole thought about it for a minute and decided they were probably right. Ole talked to the priest, and they arranged it.
The big day came and the priest had Ole kneel. He put his hand on Ole’s head and said, “Ole, you were born a Lutheran, you were raised a Lutheran, and now,” he said as he sprinkled some incense over Ole’s head, “now you are a Catholic!”
Ole was happy and the neighbors were happy. But the following Friday evening at suppertime, there was again the aroma of grilled beef coming from Ole’s yard. The neighbors went to talk to him about this and as they approached the fence, they heard Ole saying to the steak: “Yu vas born a beef, yu vas raised a beef”, and as he sprinkled salt over the meat he said, “and NOW you are a FISH!”
There might be an underlying spiritual hatred causing the vegan to protest.
Consider how the Burnt Offering is given to God as a sweet savor for man’s devotion to God. The animal sacrificed was the sacrifice for sin, but the burnt offering was a symbol of devotion, providing a sweet savor to God.
Lots of homosexuals really hate the same aroma. Go figure.
I doubt an island would work for a veg head extremist. At low tide, the aroma of sea life would be too strong. With me it would make me want some clam chowder and oyster shooters.
Speaking of our Muslim brothers...
A priest and I bbq‘d a pig in Canberra when the wind was right to carry the aroma right to the Saudi embassy.
I liked their Anthony Wiener headlines.
The Spainards brought mesquite beans over to feed their horses while roaming around Texas.
Good one.
:) So many jokes that practically write themselves popped into my head (that’s apparently in the gutter) but not FR appropriate.
I thought that she would have had a tofu with her neighbors?
