I TAKE it you didn't enjoy Monty Python's "The Life of Brian" very
much, then?

A religion that can't take a harmless joke against itself is not
worth having, just like a nation that can't take a joke against
itself which is why those politically correct idiots who want to ban
Irish jokes, etc, need dumping in the Bristol Channel.

Try looking at humour in an objective manner sometime. Who tell the
best Jewish jokes? Why, the Jews, that's who!
