My roommate busted out laughing at this comment, which
caused his girl to get up and stalk off. Neither of us got laid that night. My date never spoke to me again.

Spike, I thought these were devout Christian girls you and your friend were dating? And yet you speak of the possibility of sexual access? Come to think of it, my bestfriend graduated from a Bible college in Georgia and came home with some very surprising stories...
I heard most of those jokes from teachers in the youth program of my church. lol I found them fairly funny and not blasphemous, er.... I mean blammisphies!
best wishes,
John
P.S. Now, God's people have the best "iron chariots" in the neighborhood! Current Egyptian iron chariots would not last long in those mountains, anymore! lol
Maybe God let the Egyptian charioteers stay to keep the ancient Hebrews on their toes. When things got too good for God's people they tended to start worshipping idols and throwing wild orgies!!
