What are you trying to say?

#2 ::: Greg Morrow ::: August 3, 2005 12:44 PM ::: link

That I'm committing a Catholic sin (commandment #9).

#3 ::: Michael ::: August 3, 2005 12:52 PM ::: link

Is #9 "Coveting your neighbor's wife's ass"?

You're coveting your neighbor's wife? Which neighbor? Do you have neighbors now?

While I was figuring out what the Catholic commandments were, I found a list of Protestant commandments, of which #10 included "thou shall not covet thy neighbor's ass". Now that's a commandment!

Roman Catholic Commandment #9, subparagraph b, clause 3: "nor your neighbor's wife's servant's daughter's ass".

I'd have less of a problem with Ten Commandments monuments if they were in the original ancient Hebrew, unversified. (Christians, of course, shouldn't venerate the Ten Commandments, since Jesus specifically repudiated all Mosaic law, but one theological step at a time.)

In the former USSR there was a series of jokes about Armenian Radio, which ran a question and answer segment for its listeners. Here is a typical one:

CALLER: What percentage of men like fat women?
ARMENIAN RADIO: 80% of men like fat women.
CALLER: What kind of women do the remaining men like?
ARMENIAN RADIO: The remaining men like very fat women.

My mom just came back from a four-week stay in Armenia. I bet they like fat women even more now because their economy collapsed after the break-up of the former USSR, and they hardly have enough to eat.
