Human Being Recall Notice

This notice applies to all human beings, no exceptions. Read carefully.

The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

This defect has been technically termed, "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality," or more commonly known as "SIN".

Some Symptoms:

1. Loss of direction
2. Lack of peace and joy
3. Depression or confusion in the mental component
4. Foul vocal emissions
5. Selfish, violent behavior
6. Amnesia of origin
7. Fearfulness
8. Rebellion
9. Pride

To correct this SIN defect, the Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge. The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs.

There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Kindness
5. Goodness
6. Faithfulness
7. Gentleness
8. Patience
9. Self-control

Please see the operating manual, HOLY BIBLE, for further details on the use of these fixes. As an added upgrade, the Manufacturer has made available to all repaired units direct monitoring and assistance from the resident Maintenance Technician, the HOLY SPIRIT. Repaired units need only make Him welcome and He will take up residence on the premises.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without making these corrections voids the Manufacturer's warranty, exposing the unit to many dangers and problems --- and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded.

For free emergency service, call on JESUS. - Thank you for your attention.

The Tax Poem


Tax his land, tax his wage, tax his bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor, tax his mule, teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow, tax his goat, tax his pants, tax his coat.

Tax his tie, tax his shirt, tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his chew, tax his smoke, teach him taxes are no joke.

Tax his car, tax his a.., tax the roads he must pass.

Tax his tobacco, tax his drink, tax him even if he tries to think.

Tax his booze, tax his beers, if he cries tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas, tax his notes, tax his cash.

Tax him good and let him know that after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more, tax him until he's good and sore.

Tax his coffin, tax his grave, tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb, "Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone we won't relax, we'll still be after the inheritance TAX.

Good Morning Amy! Hope all goes well at the dentist. You should see me tomorrow, Lord willin' and the crick don't rise. I like the kitty and the jewelry, but the eyes are starting to look a little creepy (they are lit and blinking on and off).

[Elenheru]

LOL!!!! ROFL!!!!! GREAT POEM! I read it in class and burst out laughing needless to say everyone looked at me and the teacher (until reading it) got mad. I was fun though once again NICE POEM!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Okay, it's 1:20 pm here, just got a bunch of work, may not be here for the rest of the day. We'll see how fast I get it done, and how fast they bring more. (Be going for the day in about 3 hours, have a wonderful weekend if I don't come back, and see you Friday!)
