  1. Episiarch   15 years ago

    Why, oh why, can't reason post a Friday Funny that's actually funny? Is it an institutional thing? Is that the joke in and of itself?

    1. JW   15 years ago

      One day we'll look back and laugh, right? RIGHT?

      1. Episiarch   15 years ago

        I laugh at you, if that's any consolation.

        1. JW   15 years ago

          You're just overcompensating for your appalling lack of rise n' shine blowjobs.

          1. Episiarch   15 years ago

            No, no, rectal--I mean rctl--took care of that.

  3. P Brooks   15 years ago

    Be careful what you wish for.

  15. Andy Dufrane   15 years ago

    This is so funny! the car looks nice... I wish I had one like that...
    And the policeman... he looks really funny! 🙂

  47. abercrombie milano   15 years ago

    My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets...in order to really get the Books of the Bible, you have to cultivate such a mindset, it's literally a labyrinth, that's no joke.

  82. Audi A3   14 years ago

    The 19th century did see presidents occasionally taking independent action of enormous consequences: Jefferson purchased Louisiana without congressional approval, Madison seized West Florida in 1810, Andrew Jackson governed as an irritable populist, and Abraham Lincoln expanded presidential power dramatically Audi A4 throughout the course of the cataclysmic Civil War. Yet taken as a whole, the 19th-century presidency was a pale shadow of the plebiscitary office we know today.
