pettipoint

I see that Pope Paul is against "any act which prevents Procreation".

Like, for example, becoming a Pope?

But after all it is light to bring more people into the world, because then they have a chance of receiving Catholic doctrine, and that is worth any misery, is it not? It was, I think, the present Pope who visited India not so long ago and commented, after observing the blank gaze of malnutrition upon his plump person "The Indian people are the most spiritual in the world."

These South Africans aren't as bad as they are made out to be, you know. Did you note the article in last week's press about one such who, however busy she might spending her $20m bank account, still has time to work for a charity seeking $45,000 each year to provide a slice of bread and other luxuries to the deserving natives.

This Weeks Ideology—The Ubiquitous Itch.

In the small town of Bida-wee-on-the-Marsh, Maryland, the citizens got together after the government made it illegal in public to spit, satisfy an itch, or Take The Lord's Name In Vain. Cried the good burghers, men much given to the public spit, itch satisfaction or Taking Of The Lord's Name In Vain "the satisfaction of the Itch is an inalienable and indefeasible right of all citizens, and aids moral growth."

Alas they were all clapped in goal—it having been somewhat unhygienic—and another call to freedom fell heavily upon big toes, never to rise again.
