Mulling over Daryl Stout to STEVE ASHER 25 Sep 2006

Hi Daryl,

SA> LL> Well, it's really quite simple.  Repeat after me -

SA> LL> "La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah."

SA> LL> There you go.

SA> LL> Now you are officially a Muslim.

 DS>   That reminds me of a cute joke where this Baptist man moved into
 DS> a Catholic neighborhood, and they all became good friends.

 DS>   When Lent came around, the Catholics couldn't eat meat on Friday,
 DS> so they're in their homes eating various preparations and
 DS> variations of fish. All of a sudden, the smell of fresh cooked
 DS> steak on a barbeque grill wafts through the air!! The Catholics are
 DS> horrified to find that their Baptist neighbor is having a big
 DS> barbeque cookout.

[...]

 DS>   They scurry over in time to see their neighbor sprinkle water on
 DS> the steak, and intone "you were born a cow, you were raised a cow,
 DS> you are now a fish"!! :>

 DS>   My wife (a former Catholic) told this to her mother (a staunch
 DS> Catholic)..and her mother just howled with laughter!!

Hehe, I edited that slightly, & posted it in Oz Humour. :)

Cheers, Steve..
