NO FUCKING SENSE OF HUMOR

Jesus, Buddha and Mohammad go into a bar.......Wait a minute! Can I tell this joke? A day after the 11th anniversary of 9/11, following the death of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other diplomats in Libya, is it possible that the telling of a joke in an obscure American blog will unleash some violent act a world away? I'm not taking any chances. Just Buddha and Jesus went in the bar. Mohammad stayed outside, stoning a hooker, while the joke continued.
    Once again, the thin skin of Islam has been scratched by a Youtube video called INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS. Like Florida pastor Terry Jones's threats to burn the Koran (as well as the US army's actual burning of the Koran) those sensitive Muslims are once again up in arms. In a post revolutionary, heavily armed place like Libya, where the folks don't need much of an excuse to pull out RPG, or watch Youtube, this can obviously happen at the drop of a prayer shawl.
   In our church we pride ourselves as an equal opportunity roaster of all races, creeds, and belief systems. That said, I am always conscious of those who can take it the wrong way. A case in point was Ku Klux Klown standing on the front lawn holding a burning cross. I realize that some of the cars driving by may not have seen (even in the flickering light of a flaming cross) the embroidered frowny face on my hood. Hey, I can be subtle. It was more a fire safety issue than a planned public performance. No offense meant. Then there are the Jews and the Gays. I know we pick on them more than the rest. But that's just because we love them, and realize how broad their shoulders are. We are nothing if not a bastion of theological humor. But then there's the Muslims.....
    Even with my constant reproach of the congregation NOT to tell anyone about the CLGM, word's getting out. Every service new people show up. You may not believe this, but I do try to reel myself in. I'm working on this skit for A PUSSY RIOT CHRISTMAS CHURCH involving Baby Jesus, Santa Claus, Putin, Mary Magdalen, Mohammed and Dennis the big dick donkey all in a manger scene. Baby Jesus (in Pussy Riot sock hat) is crying because he didn't get what he wanted for Christmas, when in comes Mohammed riding Dennis. Putin is showing MM some Judo moves as Santa watches intently. Mohammed bends over and picks up the Baby Jesus.....then turns to the congregation and says....."xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx." Don't you think that's funny?
