Describing Fundamentalists |
Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel. Horace Walpole |
The only sperm that didn't notice it was in a sheep. fundie-MENTAL-ist Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching. A room temperature IQ. Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold them together. A photographic memory, but the lens cover is glued on. A prime candidate for natural deselection. Bright as Alaska in December. During evolution his ancestors were in the control group. Fell out of the family tree. Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming. Has two brains; one is lost and the other is out looking for it. He's so dense, light bends around him. He's got a mind like a steel trap... rusted shut. If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week. If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean. It's hard to believe that he beat 100,000 other sperm. Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, but he just gargled. Takes him an hour and a half to watch "60 Minutes". Nine volt brain. Dumb as a stump. You might be a Fundy, if... ...you were ever crowned "Miss Trailer Park" ...you have to wear headphones all day that play "Inhale....exhale" over and over again. ...you have ever gone to a ball game with a "John 3:16" sign. ...people would follow you anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity. ...you are really not so much of a "has-been," but more of a "definitely won't-be." ...when you open your mouth, it seems that it is only to change whichever foot was previously in there. ...you ever said "Git up offa me, paw.

Looks clean to me." ...you've ever referred to Anita Hill as a "lying bitch" while attending a Bob Packwood fund-raiser. ...you've ever called education a luxury. ...you look down through a glass ceiling and chuckle. ...you wonder if donations to the Pentagon are tax-deductible. ...you came of age in the '60s and don't remember Bob Dylan. ...you own a vehicle with an "Ollie North: American Hero" sticker. ...you're afraid of the "liberal media." ...you ever based an argument on the phrase, "Well, tradition dictates...." ...you've ever called the National Endowment for the Arts a bunch of pornographers. ...you think all artists are gay. ...you ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch "lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn't want to contribute to society." ...you've ever urged someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when they don't even have shoes. ...you confuse Lenin with Lennon. ...your sole purpose in life is to serve as an warning to others. |
