Le Sabot Post-Moderne

When my Roman Catholic grandfather (Italian) first visited the parents of his future wife, he gave them a nice, big bottle of scotch. This was during the second world war, and my grandfather was able to get the liquor because he was a military pilot (the pilots would make runs into Canada, in order to get cheap liquor). Anyway, upon giving them his gift, my grandfather found out that his future in-laws were Baptists, and that Baptists don't drink alcohol (in principle).

You know why you take two Baptists with you on a fishing trip?

Because; one will drink your beer, and two will keep an eye on each other and leave all the brew for yourself.

And remember, whenever two or three Episcopalians are gathered together, there is always a fifth.

What's the difference betweeen a Roman Catholic and a Presbyterian?

I don't know, and in about ten years no one else will either.

Disco, ROFLOL

Rejoinder-

"What's the difference betweeen a Roman Catholic and a Presbyterian?

Hee! The Anabaptists have been saying that for about oh. . . 500 years now and it still hasn't come close to happening. Hope springs eternal with some people I guess. ;-)

Wow! We Baptists are getting beat up on here. I think I need a drink. (For anybody who knows me that reads this--JUST KIDDING!)

All this just confirms that PCA really does stand for Pipes,Cigars and Alcohol...
But hey,while we're beating up on Baptists: Why don't Baptists believe in pre-marital sex? Because it might lead to dancing.

I come from the American South and we have a saying:

"Southerners will always vote dry as long as they are able to stagger to the polls."

Then there's the one about the three special circles of hell:

First, the one for Jews who ate pork

Second, for Catholics who didn't eat fish on Friday

And the third, for Episcopalians who ate salad with the dinner fork.

lol

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw:

Roman Catholics only do it to procreate.

Charasmatics do it swinging from the chandelers.

Baptists don't do it.

Disco - pls. slap a warning label on things such as these - I read your theology primer and spewed out my coffee! LOL! rofel mayo!
and the comments are funny too ! who said education cannot be fun?

Candleman: "Baptists don't do it"
If this is true, how come there are so many Baptists?

Discoshaman: "Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor aisle." Also in the "Adult" Book Stores, the X-rated movie theaters and brothels!

WRY: That quote about Southerners supporting prohibition as long as they are sober enough to vote is credited to Will Rogers!

You guys are all AWFUL. I'm proud to know you. :-)

I do want to say for the record that I actually have a lot of respect for Baptists. They're fun to tease a little, but most of them are the salt of the earth.

I am one myself; for the time being.

When I was a kid I thought we were baptists (we baptized people after all). Now that I'm older I realise that the ever present bottle of rum in the cupboard should have tipped me off that we weren't even close.
