Stupid News Alert

I wondered whether this belonged in the religion section, here, or perhaps the "round file." I decided to put it here.

Those wacky Iranian clerics are at it again. This time they've blamed past and future earthquakes on Iranian women

who don't dress modestly enough. *sigh*

You have to wonder if those guys are either as stupid as they sound, or think the Iranian public is. If Iran had stand-up

comics, they would have a field day. I guess they don't need geologists in Iran, as all natural forces are determined by

the presence or absence of sin.

OH......MY.......GOD!

Oh, well, I'm sure that Sally will be along any minute to blame me, too, for dancing on the table with my skirt pulled over my head and nothing else on but a couple of ankle bracelets!

Jeesh.....

Why do WE always get a bum rap?

Never Assume Dee Jay, I wasn't going to mention anything about that but you do feel guilty, don't you?

Shame on you - now will you stop dancing on tables with your skirt over your head and maybe Lizzy will stop going out gathering Mardis Gras beads?

This world is going to shaken apart because of you exhibitionists!

This is way too close to one of my favorite Fables for aour times by James Thurber - where the wolves knew that long eared carrot eaters caused Earthquakes and there fore went over and 'civilized' all of the rabbits.

The leaders of every country rely very heavily on the stupidity of the citizens.

Especially here in the good old USofA

Love ya,

Sally

PS Donna Jean if you did indeed have a 'bum' wrap you could pull your skirt over your head without causing Earthquakes!

My sisters say the Fundamntalist Christians explain that the Gays in New Orleans caused God's wraith - and He sent Hurricane Katrina!

I told them GOD must be blind because the 'Gay" section was above flood stage and didn't get flooded, but the poor African American section of Ninth Ward - about a thousand drowned. DANG, missed the target!

And the worst hit area was actually the Mississippi State coastline.

Apparently GOD cain't read maps either! DANG

So it isn't Iran, it's the religous intolerance there - kinda like here in the good ole USA.

"Please God - save us from those who hate us in Your name!"

If Iran had stand-upcomics, they would have a field day.

There are two well-known Iranian stand-up comedians here in the UK, Shappi Khorsandi and Omid Djalili. And yes, I'm sure they'll both get plenty of mileage from this one.

There's an event being organized in response to this under the name "Boobquake..."

I might make a slight exception to my habit of carefully hiding all evidence of overdeveloped mammary tissue just for this... XD

Its a nice idea, but all the participants need to be located in one city for a good chance at success. Which begs the question of, what exactly are we

hoping to accomplish??? "hides under sturdy desk"
