I alway feel saying "At least God is on my side" is a clear sign of desperation in any argument !!

Interestingly, your transformation to one of The Two Ron(nies) is almost complete. Please tell us you wrote the joke whilst sitting in an oversized chair with your feet dangling over the edge, oh please.

I have to admit I did prefer your earlier joke, the one where you said Don Burleson's "Silver Bullet" article had good recommendations, it was a lot funnier.

I still don't get it though and you never did explain what was so good about it ....

Perhaps God will one day ?
