Classic bttt

That's a stretch. Those people should sell it on ebay.

My 4 years of experience with muslims in one of their countries suggests that they don't use paper. US military health inspectors had to examine finger nails on a daily basis to insure appropriate hygiene at food service facilities.

Now THAT is truly disgusting!

[Happygal]

Unlikely, darling. Tolstoy gives me constipation. ;)

Really? He gives some verbal diahorrea! *L*

RELIGION OF LOO ROLL ALERT

This, my friend, is why I'm glad to be on your ping list. :-)

I guess we're talking about the Religion of P*ss, then, wot?

This is Allah's symbol?
Gosh, and I thought it was Prince's new nickname! ;-)

[MadIvan]

Precisely, his verbal diahorrea, makes me all bunged up, love. ;)

Love, Ivan

Yes, just call him "Squiggle", darling. ;)

Love, Ivan

Fairness? Here's the difference -- you will never see Islam openly insulted and blasphemed in the Brooklyn Museum (at taxpayers' expense), you will never see Islam excluded from public schools, you will never see Muhammed publicly mocked by cross-dressing homos (like the Virgin Mary is), you will never see Islamics threatened with loss of their radio broadcasting licenses like Christians are, you will never see...

You are making my point; I strongly protest all those instances of Christianity being mocked.

Ever hear the phrase, 'TOO MUCH INFORMATION'? *LOL*

Ever hear the phrase, 'TOO MUCH INFORMATION'? *LOL*

Well you started it. ;)

Love, Ivan

[Jamten]

A complete lack of reciprocity as I always have said.

[Happygal]

Well you started it. ;)

Oh yeah, blame me!!! *LOL*
I'm wondering what 'regular' reading material you require! *LOL*

[MadIvan]

Darling, I don't think people want to know what I read in the loo. Suffice it to say, it's nothing peculiar or bad. ;)

Love, Ivan

And "dog" is "God" spelled backwards, too.

Why don't these people lighten up?

[Nachum]

Wow, what a great marketing idea! Let's put the name on toilet seats, plungers, and sanitary napkins too!!

[MadIvan]

Ironically, I have on a documentary right now about the Islamic revolution in Iran. Khomeni said in one of the film clips that Christians were wrong to believe what Christ meant about turning the other cheek. Rather, Christ meant to do what Moses did to the Pharoah, but just didn't' get the chance.

Religion of peace, my arse. This "toilet paper" protest is not entirely out of order as such. ;)

Regards, Ivan

"I would protest toilet paper with God or other Christian references."

But the point is that the toilet paper DIDN'T say "Allah." It was an astrological symbol which, when viewed upside down, resembled the word "Allah." It was like hypersensitive blacks being offended by the word "niggardly."

[Happygal]

Religion of peace, my arse.

Was that a deliberate observation, in view of the title of this thread? *LOL*

[TEXASPROUD]

Yep,
I got a pretty dog-eared copy in the downstairs bathroom, everybody, including guests read it.
