Heard this years ago and it’s still one of my favorites. Thanks for posting it.
LOL!
Right up there with the very true scholarly work published a few years back (anonymously, to protect the author’s safety) that the passage in the Koran guaranteeing martyrs 72 virgins in Paradise is actually a mistranslation (again, due to a single letter error) for 72 raisins or dried figs. The item appears in a section typical of many religions’ heaven/paradise stories, where an abundance of various sort of fruit and other edibles is described. The “virgins” thing doesn’t even make sense there, but apparently some sex-starved early Muslim scribe was overcome by wishful thinking and figured it said “virgins”.
I love it.
