If anyone wanted to find out if any member of any group was in a bar. They could walk in and yell, "Hey, any Braves fans in here?" So that is how a Mason knows if another Mason is in a bar. You are the first person I ever had to explain that to. Maybe it loses something in print.

Here's a good one.

A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an airplane. After a while the priest turns to the rabbi and asks, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?" The rabbi responds, "Yes,that is still one of our beliefs."

The priest then asks, "Have you ever eaten pork?" To which the rabbi replies, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."

The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.

A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you remain celibate?" The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."

The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"

The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."

The rabbi nodded understandingly. He was silent for about five minutes, and then he said, "Beats the heck out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

"Beats the heck out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

ROTFLMAO!

[Brian Allen]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh.

That's 'cause there weren't no Braves fans in any bar anywhere for as most of the years the Masons been going to bars .......

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is one of my favorite jokes.

Merry Christmas, pass the Jack Daniels.

Is that a mission, or cathedral, at the 3 o'clock position? If so, I'm offended

And I'm offended by the spirtual aura around the new gals head, and the rainbow that is a clear reference to homosexuality, and the cow that is a pagen worship symbol. How can they get away with this!?

[monkeywrench]

They won't get away with it in the end.

This reminds me of Belshazzar the king in Daniel 5.

" Dan 5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

" Dan 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."

Don't forget, there are English words there, too "county of", as well as Spanish words. That's insensitive to non-speakers of English and Spanish. These insensitive scumbags should get those out of there. I'm gravely, deeply offended. Because of that, I demand in the strongest terms that they change their seal. It should be totally blank, if they insist on having a seal at all (which is itself offensive, because it denotes authority, which is insensitive to anarchists).

After $1,800 was spent to replace the large pair of county seals in the hearing room, the small cross from the original seal has begun to "shine through to be visible" in the new seal, Supervisor Don Knabe wrote in a prepared release.

I hope they just leave it like it is. They keep replacing it, and it keeps coming back. God has a sense of humor.

I'd be a little worried about a blank seal as that generally shows up as white and that might be offensive to people of color or those that simply don't like white. If they could make it some generally agreed upon blank color, then they may get around this problem.

Anyhow, I am going to call them now with your suggestion. I too am tired of all this insensitivity on their part!!!

[jellybean]

What about the cow? Aren't our meat-eating roots offensive to vegetarians?

And isn't the cow revered in the Hindi religion? Are they promoting Hinduism?

[murphE]

I think they should change the name. How dare they keep the name "city of the angels", city of the fallen angels maybe.

[jwalsh07]

LOL, the City of Angels is a joke.

[murphE]

Thanks for the info, and of course you're right, it is an abomination. What's Spanish for city that is now an abomination to Our Lord? : )

"It should be totally blank, if they insist on having a seal at all (which is itself offensive, because it denotes authority, which is insensitive to anarchists)"

I'm sorry, but you can't have a seal at all. I'm sure you realize that the seal is circular, and in the Merriam Webster dictionary, the first definition of circle is "ring, halo". Now, a halo is religious, is it not? Can't have that, can we.
