OH MOTHER OF ALL GOOD

OH MOTHER OF ALL GOOD THINGS!!!! I have been waiting for something like this, a old-ex friend of mine is so against homosexuals (event though we have mutual homosexual friends male and females) I am so sending this to him and would love to see what he says about it. Although I am not going to hold my breath....this is awesome.

Well, Jim, you could play without gloves since 'pigskins' aren't literally made of the skin of a pig. I'm not entirely sure where the term came from, but I think it's because the earliest footballs were made out of a hollowed-out pig filled with some sort of stuffing.

Good night, funny man, and thanks for the laughter.

great letter! We all

great letter! Laughing out loud

We all pretty much knew these things were in the bible but it's pretty funny to see them all right there with the sources included.

 

As far as footballs go...

The insides were origonally made with the bladdars of animals (often pigs).  So the outsides were considered the pigs skin.

... At least this is the most reliable and plausible explanation I found.

Nice letter. I actually

Nice letter. I actually listen to Dr. Laura almost every morning. I generally don't have a problem with her advice. Some of it I find useful honestly. Time to time though she'll go on one of her religious conservative rants. I tend to just zone out at that point or shake my head with irratation. At worst I'll change the channel.

I hope they cannot see
the limitless potential
living inside of me
to murder everything.
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer.

Very cool letter.  I

Very cool letter.  I haven't seen this one before.

Quote:
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell?

In New York, certain orthodox Jewish men won't shake hands with a woman--any woman, ever--because she might be menstruating.  Insane rudeness.
