Excellent, Gary! I had to stop myself from running up to the stage
with a $20 in my teeth.

She probably takes confederate dollars.

Who is Gary? I didn't notice this wasn't posted by you. You may have a new best friend.

He's another honored member of the HC, and has given us some excellent posts... You never noticed????
Perhaps, it's time to lay off the decaf and go back to Hi-Test, Brena. :-)

It is true I don't see all the posts. I only see the ones that come up in my email. I need to get with the program.

Over fifty years telling everyone that faith can heal anything, but he
chooses to go to a hospital.
...Remarkable.

After spending his career scamming millions from the poor and the elderly on fixed incomes... Frankly, I hope he breaks every damn bone in his body.
Pat Robertson represents everything sick and twisted. He has faith in money and craves attention.
I don't know anything about the guy. I was just commenting on his seeking medical attention. I get the feeling he is not too well admired .

Let's just say that television evangelists are the original inspiration for the joke: "If you shake his hand, count your fingers afterwards."
are the original inspiration for the joke: "If you shake his hand, count your fingers afterwards."You'd be surprised just how old that joke is.
Mod
No, I wouldn't. Jokes are continually rehashed, revamped and rewritten by every generation. Some of the macabre jokes told about 9-11 were told about the Hindenburg disaster.
I know we often fail to appreciate it, but our ancestors also had a sense of humor.

I heard that as a child in reference to Algerians. It was not a joke at the time. It was a warning and considered a fact.
The oldest recorded variant I am currently aware of is "If a native of Naresh kisses you, count your teeth" from the Babylonian Talmud. So circa 500 And we can assume that the fact it's a pretty straightforward point that its been around since there have been thieves.

"Speaker Paul D. Ryan faced a backlash on Saturday after he pointed to a secretary's $1.50 weekly increase in take-home pay as a sign of the Republican tax plan's success."
Still, the New York Times analysis found that Trump’s taxes could be cut by more than $1.1 billion.

Why we're still here????
Could it be because we're not stupid enough to get our science news from ancient goatherds? ...Just a thought.
Dang, I hate it when it's the end of the world and I don't even know about it until the afternoon. I don't any special when someone predicts the End of Days, but I like to put on nice, new underpants just in case.

Seven Democratic senators wrote Pruitt a letter Tuesday saying that the policy, which will have a 30-day public comment period, is probably illegal. Led by Delaware’s Tom Carper, the lawmakers requested more information about the proposal, which they say would direct the agency to ignore the "best available science," a court-back standard for ensuring regulators consider evidence."
Congratulations to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt for proposing that we get rid of that pesky "best available science" standard, and replacing it with "pick and choose science" - - certainly the best way to protect our air and water. Foisting this crap EPA rule on the public in the name of "transparency" was a brilliant political strategy, which we can all enjoy if we survive it on our way to the cancer ward.
The poorly-advertised public comment period lasts only 30 days, after which the pesticide level in your water supply will be determined by a "scientific" study that's politically expedient.
