Mondays Should Only Be used For Long Weekends !

Late Friday, O. J. Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering five men a year ago and storming a room at a hotel-casino to seize Simpson sports mementos. The crime took place on September 13, the jury deliberated 13 hours on the 13 day trial and the conviction happened on the13th anniversary of his Los Angeles acquital of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole, and Ronald Goldman.

While I'm sure that the conviction will be appealed and "Podium Al" Sharpton will be scurrying from his garbage can to scream racial prejudice, I revel in the thought that a dose of poetic justice has been served to O. J. Simpson.

A young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couple agreed and came back at the end of two weeks.

The pastor asked them, "Well, were you able to get through the two weeks without being intimate?" The young man said, "Pastor, I'm afraid we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks."

The Pastor inquired, "What happened?" The young man replied, "My wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was over come with lust and took advantage of her right there."

The Pastor said, "You understand, of course, that this means you will not be welcome in our church," The young man said, "That's ok, we're not welcome at the grocery store anymore either."

That's it for today my little chitlins. More tomorrow.
