Tee-hee


Clarifying things.
 
An ingenious Oratorical and Political example happened recently in the United Nations, and it made the world-wide community present smile.
 
The representative of Israel before the United Nations:
-" Before beginning my speech I would like to say something about Moses:
When Moses struck the rock and water started flowing from it, he thought 'what a good opportunity to take a bath.' He took off his clothes, laid them next to the rock and entered the water. When he finished his bath and went to get dressed, his clothes were not there. The Palestinians had robbed them".
 
The representative of Palestine jumped, furious, and said:
-" What are you talking about! The Palestinians were not there then! ".
 
The representative of Israel smiled and said:
- " Very well… and now that we've cleared the issue of who arrived here first and who were the invaders,  I will begin my speech".

Florida court sets atheist holy day

In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and
Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination
case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The
argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized
days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the
passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel
declaring,"Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your
honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have
Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and
Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your
client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance
or holiday for atheists."

The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm
14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it
is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no
God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is
adjourned.

You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
