Florida Courts Sets Atheist Holy Day

Posted in Funnies

This was shared with me by a friend - thought I would share it here with all of you. 


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!

Do I Ever Feel Old

Posted in Funnies

I was sitting in the kitchen, knitting on the Calgary Flames Illusion scarf that I have been designing - the kids were in the toy room cleaning it up.  While they were cleaning, I overheard them discussing Transformers .... Josh told Charlotte "I can't believe that you don't like Transformers - don't you know that they are antiques .... they were made in 1984!!!!!!!!!"
