Does anyone have access to the full joke from my childhood about the person who scrambles all the Bible stories together?

I only remember two bits of it. One is when he says the Bible declares a lie to be "a very present help in time of trouble." The other is when he starts out talking about Jezebel's death (when she was thrown down from the balcony and her blood is lapped up by dogs). The guy says they threw her down seventy times seven and the fragments filled 12 baskets.

The full joke is fairly long. When I was a kid just old enough to know all the Bible stories that were being scrambled I thought it was just the funniest thing in the world.

why pick on the RCC? I think many of the kids in my community would not fare that well.

Didn't take it as picking ... just something cute ... and you're right, a lot of kids would not do that well. 'Believe that at the Catholic elementary school down the street here, they do learn the Bible. ;)

Anyway, Carsten, you asked about the "monotony" statement ... if you've not been to dictionary.com by now, sticking with one spouse is "monogamy" ... there are a few letters that are different. :basic05 [or, were you being a smart aleck, and commenting on the veracity of monotony? Hope not!!] :eek: :rolleyes:

Dear Gina,

Mike has said - Answers are uncorrected for content or spelling.
and the phrases - CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.
do have correct content and are spelled correctly. (Am I wrong?)
Why someone should not been married to Monotony, once her / his spouses parents have taken that name?

On the other side,
"to have only one spouse" is monotony, indeed!

Only one example out of millions
Weigerich von Gemmingen (1493 - 1548) and his wife
Benedicta, nee von Neipperg (1500 - 1570).
Since more than 400 years absolutely nothing has happened!
That is monotony - or not?
Millions and millions of marriages are totally equal - ab so lu te ly mo no tone.

Would not monotony be better than zero?

- äh - our marriage - mo no tone?

NEVER!

e. g.
we have been often, often in common in cinema,
in 1981 "Joni"
http://imdb.com/title/tt0080966/
in 2003 "Luther"
http://imdb.com/title/tt0309820/
in 2005 "Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage"
http://imdb.com/title/tt0426578/

and we have TV.

Monotony?
No, sorry.

Would not monotony be better than zero?I do not think, the marriage of
Weigerich von Gemmingen (1493 - 1548) and his wife
Benedicta, nee von Neipperg (1500 - 1570)
has been Zero, during the last more than 400 years.
At least they do watch the generations after them - and this, so seems me - is very interesting and does let grow enthusiasmus to be concerned for a better world or to be concerned to steer into a better direction - far away from Zero to be spectator - right?

Brad, I have heard that one, but have not tried to find it on line. It is very funny.

Carsten, if you say you do this regularly ... this forgetting ... you must like the ensuing ... uh ... lively discussion !? Carsten, Carsten, CARSTEN!! We know you're computer savvy enough that you could put you a reminder in there somewhere that will pop up and not let you forget!

Try doing that this year ... surprise RUTH! Then your discussion can be about thoughtfully remembering instead of why you forgot ... even schedule a couple of days away for the two of you about that time.
Reeeaallly surprise Ruth! OK!? ;)

Try doing that this year ... surprise RUTH!After reading eMailnotification including your kind help, I did - a few minutes ago.
She really was surprised.
Has nothing said, just looked on me as she would say she got doubts on my brain functions.
Her face teached me to count one and one together.


She is right.
It was March 7th.


To turn things on feet.
Monotony has mindst one name. This name is TV.

We do have alot relations into many directions, let me joke, - we have no time for monotony.
Ruth today was from three o'clock in afternoon until eight o'clock on her "Ladies club" tour - Dorle and others from the FEG community - going in common shopping etc. She right now told me, she did help to clean up a roofroom (attica?) from old and no more used household stuff. She laughed and told some jokes they had made. The Ladies club is truely a funny Ladies club. I was with the boys on their school homework and on their computers. We got a higher DSL speed connection and must configure our funny little family network new.

No time for monotony, ha, ha!
