I’ve been asked on this forum what I have against Catholics, especially when I’ve shared the now-infamous Nun Joke (you know; the one in which they get back rubs). But I’ve told these jokes for many years to many people, including many many Catholics, and not one has ever expressed moral outrage. So here, submitted for your approval, as Rod Serling used to say, is yet another joke involving the Religion of Rome:
Bill Clinton and the Pope die on the same say, but there’s a mixup: the Pope goes down, and Clinton goes up. Well, it doesn’t take long for the problem to be resolved, and soon both men are traveling toward their respective final destinations. As they pass each other in the middle, the Pope says, “I’m so glad this got resolved! I’ve been waiting my entire life to meet The Virgin Mary.”
Back prior to germ theory, alcohol (usually just barely strong enough to kill off microbes) was essential to urban survival. If someone in the community was responsible for making beer, it probably really was more important than whatever their job would be otherwise.
Beer back then was also quite different from what it is now. It was much thicker, and for the most part was unflavoured by hops or any similar herbs, giving it more of a grain-like taste.
The message was “Phyton is loose!” Phyton is a loose language… loose and lousy… Variables of undefined characteristics mutating along the way?? C’mon! What’s next?? Code blocks defined by tabulation??? (Let the flames begin :D )
I recall my boss telling me to reduce my font size from 14 to 12 because it looked like I was shouting in my emails. This was back in the 1980’s when we were all new to emailing letters… ”OK BOSS, ANYTHING YOU SAY”
Good thing the one guy I worked with at another job wasn’t working at Google. You couldn’t even MENTION snakes to him. That’s the worst snake phobia I’ve ever seen. I have a snake phobia too, but I don’t care if you only TALK about them.
Take care, may former New Zealand Verfnergul Enterprises employee Phoebe “I Thought A Cap Lock Was Another Word For A Bobby Pin Well I Guess I’m Better Off Staying Home” Bimbord be with you, and gesundheit.
I have a relative who like to use ALL CAPS in e-mails, then blames everyone else for wondering WHY HE’S YELLING. It’s never occurred to him that he’s the one who’s the problem.
in Ancient Egypt making beer was probably the best way to avoid water born illness, since they didn’t have modern water treatment adding a little bit of alcohol was the best way to kill off bacteria. I wonder how strong this beer was compared to what we would drink today. I once heard that actual liters of the stuff were allocated to the workers who build the pyramids per day, so it HAD to be weaker than modern beer or else they would have been drunkenly stumbling around with multi-ton blocks of stone all day.
Some years ago, right here on GoComics, a poster always commented in all caps. When repeatedly called on it, he/she/it claimed the CapsLock key on the keyboard was “broken”…

“Oops” says Clinton.

Which leaves me wondering what the other part of her offense was that led to her firing? Clicking her teeth against her coffee cup?
And, while we’re at it, what was the proportion of the offending parts?
