Ray,
I received a duplicate post regarding your frustrations with
"self-righteous attitudes" that you've seen over the years and you
mentioning that you'll stay on H/F a few more days. I don't know if
you got my response or not I sent yesterday. Anyway, here is a joke
I thought you might enjoy (No, I didn't get this one from Tyler)
THE BARBER
After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small
Southern town decided he had enough. He told his wife that he
intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his
hat and coat and went to the barber shop, which was owned by the
pastor of the town's Baptist Church. The barber's wife, Grace, was
working that day, so she performed the task.
Grace shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water, and said, "That
will be $20."
The man thought the price was a bit high, but he paid the bill and
went to work. The next morning the man looked in the mirror, and his
face was as smooth as it had been when he left the barber shop the
day before. Not bad, he thought. At least I don't need to get a shave
every day.
The next morning, the man's face was still smooth. Two weeks later,
the man was still unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face.
It was more than he could take, so he returned to the barber shop.
"I thought $20 was high for a shave", he told the barber's wife, "but
you must have done a great job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers
still haven't started growing back."
The expression on her face didn't even change, expecting his comment.
She responded, "You were shaved by Grace. Once shaved, always
shaved."
I sometimes forward jokes to him and he posts them on H/F. I send good
jokes though...I wasn't responsible for the other joke he submitted that
everyone got mad about :)
I'll read from you later...

BTW, the church you attend now, is it Apostolic?
