A "CUP-LE" OF RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES
n/a ^ | n/a | n/a

Posted on 01/10/2002 8:18:48 AM PST by Liz

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said,
"I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."

"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.

"Type?" inquires the man, "There is more than one type?"

"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size colour and material imaginable.

"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from."

Relieved, the man asked about the types.

The saleslady replied, "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types.

Which one would you prefer?"

Now befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.

The saleslady responded, "It is all quite simple."

1. "The Catholic type supports the masses."

2. "The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen."

3. "The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright."

4. "The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills."

It was a failed attempt at experimental humor. Don't worry about it.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.........Well?.......... I'm waiting.

Try ending your posts to humorous threads with a joke.

I started it and I guess I'm gonna finish it.

A woman was distraught. Her beloved Uncle Charlie was very ill. She called in the doctor. He examined CHarlie, sat the woman down and said, " I'm sorry. to tell you. His brain is dead, but his heart is still beating."

The woman almost fainted, and replied, " Oh dear God in heaven, I had no idea we had a Democrat in the family."

I was focusing on the fact that the store was a Macy's. It could just as soon have been a Wal-Mart for all it had to do with the integrity of the story. My jape -- "Macy's? I don't get it" -- was an attempted portrayal of a clueless hearer, distracted by a non-essential point. Maybe you don't know as many humorless people as I do. I find them funny as hell.

As I said, it was experimental.

Sorry, I broke my own freshly created old rule.

What about the "Islam is peace" bra - Nothing to it (must be a training bra)

Try saying the bunch of slaveholding megalomaniacs who seceded from the U.S. to begin the Civil War were traitors.
I'm from Georgia so I can say whatever I want. Most southerners didn't own slaves. The true reason we went to war is because northern factories couldn't compete with Brittish factories. So, they placed high tariffs on imported equipment. We were defending our cotton gins, not our slaves.

Breathlessly awaiting your exhaustive list of sources that "prove" that.

On second thought, maybe I'd better drop the "breathless" part.

It would have had to be Macy's or a department store of that type.

Did you ever try to get a salesperson at a WalMart, etc.? They don't even know where the merchandise is, much less what it's used for!!!

Perhaps we can add a sports bra to the list . . . for the Quakers?

So, no PC, just argument.

Is this the five minute argument, or the full half hour?
