Three Things to Ponder - Page 2

Three Things to Ponder:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

C O W S

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

T H E C O N S T I T U T I O N

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we are not using it anymore.

T H E 1 0 C O M M A N D M E N T S

The real reason that we cannot have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians..It creates a hostile work environment

Is it just a coincidence that there are ten commandments? What did the original draft look like? Were there 15 or 20? Did they cut it down to 11, and God thought, y'know, this is a whole lot more marketable with a round number, and so he cut out the one that said, "Thou Shalt Not Play Music Loud Enough To Annoy Thy Neighbors"?

I'm sure they only do when their keeper will take the safety lids off their beer.

Why do we create threads to make CP members think? Haven't you learned that is BAD idea?

People will never, ever figure out a four-way stop. The general public is just not smart enough. I've been flipped off by people because I was doing a 4-way stop the legal way.

Thanks for your thoughts, Mr. Carlinmillernugent.

I copied this from another website. It seems the membership here is more critical of the poster than they are of the post.

Too bad, the original was deemed to be funny. It's also listed on another football website and the general consensus is that it's funny.

I guess reputation is just something that most here cannot or will not get over.

From what I see you are correct. The people that understand the law have no problems using 4-ways correctly. I see a few that feel their shit doesn't stink and have every right to go first because they are important in the world.

What did you expect? Good job @$$hole?

Other people have found this very amusing, that fact does not speak very highly of your ability to intrepet humor on that level.

I thought he was going to quote Proverbs 30:

There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:

the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a maiden.

Great thread. I like humor with my politics.
