The main shortcoming of uk.tech.digital-tv
I put my latest comic poem on there and no-one laughed, despite the fact
that it is quite the funniest poem I have ever written. The reason is, they are all techy nerds, almost as bad as computer freaks. I reckon you people on the DIY group, horny handed practical guys with your feet firmly on the ground and lifetimes of real-life experience, will find my poem good. Here it is. Salvation A mile from a convent lived an ex-priest Defrocked for lascivious crimes, the beast. Wishing to bring salvation, two nuns On their bikes took tracts and chocolate buns. “To feed his body and soul alike,” Each thought, as she pedalled her old black bike. But it didn’t quite go the way they had thunk, And both pedalled home full of unholy spunk. Amen Bill |

Bill, have you considered that one can see the punch line coming a mile off,
and its very similar to a lot of jokes containing members of the clergy. When I were a lad we had lots of jukes at the expense of bits of religious teaching etc. The only one I can remember is the one where a young child comes home and asks his parents what is God called. They of course reply that although Jesus was the son of god God himself was just god. After a short pause, the child said, no you are wrong, they told us today that he was called Harold, and flounced off into their bedroom to play the radio. Later on his mother went in and asked, so dear, how do you know God's name is Harold? Its in a prayer he said. Our Father who art in heaven... he paused and said, we were told this was not daddy, but all humans daddy, God, and then it goes on Harold be thy name....

You're at your best as an essayist, especially when writing about cable specifications and old people's homes. Owain |

I prefer the one about the Pope. Saying his evening prayers one night, God appears to him and says, 'I can give you world peace, and everything else you pray for, but you have to do one thing for me - you have to have unbridled sex with a woman' The pope thinks about for a long time, then says to god, 'Although it is against every fibre of my being, I will do as you ask, but i must ask that you make her dumb, so that she can never speak about our liason' God says, 'that will be no problem' The Pope replies, 'Also, can you make sure she's blind, so that she can never know the identity of the one who violated her?' Again, god answers 'Yes' The Pope then says, 'And can you make sure she's got big tits?' |
