Hey! Here's a Baptist Joke!


I still feel kind of bad about telling that Unitarian joke a few weeks ago (you know, about them burning a question mark on my lawn). So, in the interest of fairness, here is a joke about my own denomination, the Baptists, told to me by a Baptist who is an expert in theology. And jokes.

So, there is a Baptist, an Episcopalian, and a Catholic who are waiting with their wives to interview with St. Peter to get into heaven (apparently, they all died in some interdenominational wreck of a car rental van or something-- that's not important). So the Catholic couple goes up to St. Peter first, and the good Saint starts yelling at the husband. "All you ever cared about was drinking-- look, you even married a woman named Brandy!" Rejected, the Catholics leave, downcast.

Next, the Episcopalian and his wife approach St. Peter, who is still kind of mad. "All you ever cared about was money!" he yelled at the husband, "Look! You even married a woman named Penny!" So Penny and her husband turn to leave.

At this point the Baptist turns to his wife and says "Fannie, I think we're in trouble!"

Comments:
OK that was funny. I do not get the bumper sticker, though.
 
Maybe it means that Yale Law School produces too many liberals who will be lawyers and judges and senators and professors and such, and needs to be closed. Or produces too much of something, anyway.
 
I agree with SG (there is a perception that Yale Law is a bastion of liberalism), though another guy who went to college w/Os, me, and IPLG went to Yale and became an Asst. US Attorney... and I believe he's a Republican.
 
Yale Law produced the Clintons, Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill and and a couple of their acquaintances who acted all weird during the Thomas confirmation hearings, plus Ben Stein. Among others.

My favorite Episcopal joke is:

How many Episcopalians does it take to change a lightbulb?

Five. One to hold the ladder, one to change the bulb and three to talk about how great the old one was.
 
How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?

100-- one to hold the bulb and 99 to turn the church around.
 
Subject: FW: 4 important rules

It has been suggested that during these serious times, people of all faiths should remember these four religious truths:


1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.

2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.

4. Baptists do not recognize each other at Hooters.
