Woo Hooooo! TGIF and Happy Easter everyone!! Time for another FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD! As always, feel free to post jokes, silly pics, nonsensical statements, or even to IGNORE THIS THREAD!
"Happy Easter!"
"Arrrgh, silliness!" 
"Ahhh, Friday!"
I'll have you know that I was Pumba's coach for The Lion King
My 15 minutes of f
shame.
Shalom.
I have a different opinion. Today Gods Son died for us, he accepted the ultimate pain, he suffered. The day of resurrection, on Easter Sunday, is the day of hope, of joy. This day is when we can celebrate the end of our misery because in Jesus resurrection God gave us a promise that our lives are not lived in vain.
Seeing it this way, Terris death will make many more thinking about facing the same fate, but still it is unbelievable to give up her life. I changed my mind one week ago. Before they took away the tubes, I thought Terri wasn´t really among the living, but she is. Still. I´m so sorry and sad.
God gave us our lives to preserve them - and not to say "so it´s His will, let her die". With this arguement, we could let car accident people die without help saying it was His will to let them die of that accident.
Btw, we here in Germany have a holiday law forbidding to play operas, theatre plays, open businesses, gambling, having parties with entrance fees (and private parties are forbidden by the good manners of the society). Even in France, shops are closed - except of a few which opened today, and where hundreds of protestors demonstrated against this.
On a last note:
I regret that I missed the opportunity to skip this thread.
It is not up to me telling you what to do or not to do today.
Blessed be you all, on this sad day and everytime!
Shalom.
The following Viagra advertisement is great.
The boss called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. When everyone gathered, the employer, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest.
The theme was Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was that they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products, that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.
About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a top ten list. After all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone.
The top ten:
10. Viagra, Whaaazzzzz Up!
9. Viagra, the quicker pecker upper.
8. Viagra, Like a rock!
7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.
5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.
4. Viagra,! strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
3. Viagra, Tastes great! More filling!
2. Viagra, we bring good things to life!
and the unanimous number one slogan:
1. This is your penis... This is your penis on drugs
The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
"Tax? I thought that they stayed on by themselves."
OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!
Wouldn't tacks kind of defeate the purpose?"
Don't know about defeat, but it sure would deflate the purpose!
teehehehehe
Yeah, if the human were 10.25 inches high.
OK, Who put too much soap in the washing machine?
LOL!! I know why you have tin foil on your windows!! And it ain't to fend off black helicopters....
My boss just told us we can go to celebrate the holiday.
For those who object to silliness on this day, please stop reading and go observe the day as you see fit.
For the rest of you, consider what a cosmic joke today represents.
Up until that fateful Friday G-d had given humanity every opportunity to save itself. He gave us paradise with no sin and no want, and we blew it.
He gave us a world in which we could mix with the angels and see what true perfection was, and we blew it.
He wiped out all evil and let us start again with a righteous family and none of the temptations of the angels, and we blew it.
He gave us a very clear statement of His Torah so we would know how we should live, and we blew it.
We blew it when we all took responsibility for our own righteousness with no king. We blew it when we had a king. We blew it when governing our own affairs. We blew it when occupied by foreigners. No matter what we tried to be righteous in ourselves, we blew it.
Yes, Satan had clearly won. Yet, like Monte Hall, G-d had a deal in mind. Satan could make a choice. He could keep all of humanity in its sin, or he could trade it for what was behind Door Number Three. Behind Door Number 3 was G-d's Own Son. Satan could kill G-d's Own Son in trade for all of humanity. All he would have to do is put all the sin of all the world on the Son's shoulders as He died.
Satan squeeled in glee. What were the souls of all of humanity when compared with the soul of G-d's Own Son? Of course he would take the deal.
So G-d's Own Son took the sin of the world on His shoulders and He died.
But His righteousness was bigger than the sin of the whole world. Hell could not contain it. Death could not contain it. The earth could not contain it, and He rose, crushing Satan under his heel.
Man is saved. Jesus lives.
The joke is on Satan.
Happy Easter. For those who know Him, may the celebration of His Resurrection bring you joy and a renewed sense of His presence.
For those who do not, may you meet Him soon.
Shalom b'Shem Yeshua!
ArGee
