joke about a Catholic school boy (warning: rated R)

[ApostateAbe]

Johnny's parents were upset that Johnny couldn't do well in math. He would make paper airplanes out of his math tests and throw them at the teacher. And he would intentionally feed his homework to the dog. So they were finally so fed up that they took him out of public school and sent him to a Catholic school.

From the very first day, Johnny did his homework diligently after he arrived home. His parents were amazed. And at the end of the quarter, Johnny nervously showed his parents the report card. To their astonishment, the report card showed an "A" in math. Johnny's father beamed with pride and asked, "What was it, son? Was it the good old-fashioned discipline and religious ethics?"

Johnny spurt out, "Are you kidding me?? They have a guy nailed to a plus sign!!"

It's an oldie, but still a goodie!

Err, uh, why the R rating though?

[Ensign Steve]

Same reasons Passions was R-rated. For the VIOLENCE!

I was riding the bus on regular basis with a very nice and amusing young woman, who, however, held some fairly fundamentalist beliefs.

One morning, after getting on the bus, she picked up some literature from the seat and began reading. After a couple of minutes, she piped up, saying, "Can you believe this stuff? Blue-skinned, flute-playing gods that cavort with maidens? Isn't this weird?...How can people believe this stuff?"

She then handed the Krishna literature to me, I thumbed quickly through it and blunted stated, "Well, at least it's not as gruesome as those people who worship a gory zombie, often shown nailed to an implement of torture."

She shut up.

The Passion of Christ was a snuff picture. Plain and simple.
