When will it ever end? First the sexist joke, then the homophobic joke,
and now an incredibly racist joke. I first heard this "joke" told about
a trapper in Arkansas named LeRoy. I do not know how you can go through
life with your hidden assumptions about other people, but stop forcing
your narrow views on the rest of us! Your joke in the subject line said
it was offensive to muskrats and feminists, but you deliberately left
out stating it was offensive to minorities. This patriarchal sleight of
hand is to be condemned by all right thinking human beings.
And for those of you with the brains of a young blowfish, this piece was
SATIRE! OK. What a bunch of humorless mental midgets. Bleah.

When you think about it - I guess that people from the Yukon are minorities.
How many people do you know from the Yukon??? Yeah, well there.
I got you, neah, neah!

Huh? I didn't understand the good Fr.'s joke in the first place,
nor do I understand the indignant reply. Racist who? Chain what?
Would somebody please explain this joke to me?

I didn't see this original posting so I don't know if Matthew altered the text
attributed to John Wooley in his 'satire'.
Assuming he did not alter the joke, I would like to make the observation that
I think it remarkable that someone calling themself "Fr." could break a com-
mandment by using the lord's name in vain. Once I can forgive, but TWICE?!
I suppose the excuse is that he's quoting someone else, right?

Actually, the excuse is that it's funnier that way. Humour covereth a
multitude of sins. I can't imagine God getting too upset; He obviously
has a sense of humour -- look at a giraffe some time.

I really don't understand - I don't see the name "Ubizmo" anywhere
in the posting above.

Case I: There is no Lord. In this case he needs not be forgiven.
Case II: There is a Lord. In this case, don't you think it is up
to that being to decide if he is to be forgiven? Unless
you mean that you are the Lord...
Case III: Oh, never mind!
