RM6f9's Journal: If X were Y

Inspired by TomHudson's latest Baptist rant, which reminded me of several sayings, such as:
"If brains were gunpowder, he couldn't blow his nose."
"If brains were gasoline, she couldn't power a pissant's scooter 'round the inside of a cheerio."
"If shit were sand, his head would be the Sahara."
"If bullshit were electricity, he could light the eastern seaboard."
By ALL means, feel free to weigh in with your favorites...

How about poetry, since its Tuesday?

Why, tell'em flat out, they can write or download a ballistics spreadsheet for benchrest competitions. I'll get around to writing one sooner or later if the demand from my own club gets high. Right now they're all paying for commercial products. Most of 'em windows (pocket PC).

Strong suggestion if someone wants to write a ballistics tabulation program.

Haven't most "Christian" organizations claimed their pyramid? 12 disciples, each preached to x followers - that's all it's ever been: I think it was Ghandi who said "If more christians were like Christ, no one would have ever heard of me."

Onward to poetry:

Little Willie saw some dynamite,
didn't understand it quite;
Curiosity never pays,
it rained Willie seven days.

Little Willie had a thirst,
Little Willie is no more:
What he thought was H2O,
was H2SO4!

I think it was Ghandi who said "If more christians were like Christ, no one would have ever heard of me."

You know why they don't celebrate Hallowe'en in India? No more Ghandi.

Little Johnny got his yocks,
Put Exlax in a Chocolate box.
Mother will smack him for his punning,
Just as soon as she stops running.
