Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 20, 2016

Well, you certainly have an honest face.

Let’s hear again how you blame it all on the Lame Stream Media.

Most families harvest enough horseradish for their needs from two or three plants. What are your congregants doing with fields of them?

Seems to me they are trying to drive you out of your mind.

And they will go to any lengths, apparently.Having church funds go missing is one thing, but life without horseradish is too great a burden to be borne.

Well, of course they are!Until you’re out of the way, they won’t be able to corner the incalculably rich horseradish market. See?

I did not steal church funds. That surrey with the fringe on top behind my house is a gift from my appreciative and admiring flock. They give me wide discretion. Yes, that’s it, wide discretion.

love a little horseradish on my burger

Hark, all ye who seek Satan!!! He resides in your local church… front row, right hand pew, every Sunday morning.

If Aids is gods punishment for being gay, is Malaria gods punishment for being young and poor and living in the third world?

Nothing worse than salty horseradish.

Well, you just go tell your enemies, “Plotty plotty poo-poo on you.”

Salting the earth:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_the_earth.In Spain and the Spanish Empire, salt was poured onto the land owned by a convicted traitor (often one who was executed and his head placed on a picota, or pike, afterwards) after his house was demolished..Likewise, in Portugal, salt was poured onto the land owned by a convicted traitor. The last known event of this sort was the destruction of the Duke of Aveiro’s palace in Lisbon in 1759, due to his participation in the Távora affair (a conspiracy against King Joseph I of Portugal). His palace was demolished and his land was salted. A stone memorial now perpetuates the memory of the shame of the Duke, where it is written:.In this place were put to the ground and salted the houses of José Mascarenhas, stripped of the honours of Duque de Aveiro and others…. Put to Justice as one of the leaders of the most barbarous and execrable upheaval that… was committed against the most royal and sacred person of the Lord Joseph I. In this infamous land nothing may be built for all time..In the Portuguese colony of Brazil, the leader of the Inconfidência Mineira, Tiradentes, was sentenced to death and his house was “razed and salted, so that never again be built upon the floor, … and even the floor will rise up a standard by which the memory is preserved (preserving) the infamy of this heinous offender…” He suffered further indignities, being hanged and quartered, his body parts carried to various parts of the country where his fellow revolutionaries had met, and his children deprived of their property and honor.

Salty cash used for bible bookmarks… How does he explain THAT?

Where did he find a salt shaker big enough to (allegedly) salt the horseradish fields?

Still one of my favorite Bible passages.It starts slow, but builds nicely.
