Reply #110: Thank you, thank you .........

It's the one day a year - Good Friday - when my friends are allowed to hang up on me, although none do, simply because I think they enjoy my mad howling when I hit the punch line.

Yours just broke me up. With your permission, I'm stealing it.

It reminded me of this old favorite:

A Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a Jewish rabbi (sometimes you have to spell out these things) are having a conversation about when life begins.

"At the moment of conception," the priest intones, "that is the beginning of life."

"At the moment of viability," the minister states, "that is the beginning of life."

The rabbi looks at them, shrugs, and says, "Life begins when the last kid leaves for college and the dog dies."
