    Stephen was not an apostle but early convert who was stoned to death.
    The first martyr.

    George,

    That proves, "If the Foo $h!+$, Wear It". <G>

    Classic! I first heard/colected that jokle back in '95, from the FUNNY echo, posted by a guy Im' friends with to this day -- he's in New
    Zealand -- we chat online & send each other funnies regularly. . .

    The beauty of puns is in the groan of the recipients.

    I couldnot tale over & diretc traffic in an emergency -- never having driven, I dno't know the rights of wya rules, except the one: The 6'8" well-muscled bearded guy with dual gun racks n his truck, eaxgh with a very expensive, double barrel shotgun, in the guiant 4X4 truck with a bumper sticker that says,"Guns don't kill people -- _I_ kill people!" always has the right of way.

    That's like the one where the woman who was behind a daydreaming driver.
    The woman ended up missing the traffic light, and had to sit and wait for another light cycle. She started cussing, flipping the other driver off,
    and she is immediately told by a cop "Step out of the car, please"...as
    she's arrested.

    A few hours later, she's released, with an apology from the officer.
    He noted "With your behavior toward that other driver, despite having
    bumper stickers on your car saying 'Follow Me To Church', I thought
    you had stolen the car". <G>

    Yup, I've reached the top, & I'm over the hill, which is great - it's a
    downhill trip the rest of the way!

    As the late Bobby Bowden noted, "After retirement, there's only one big
    event left".

    Of course, Jesus had to cajole Judas to play the prophecied part, but Judas turned his heart to it for real (gladly taking the betrayal
    cash, along with the disciples' funds)

    And, he betrayed Him with a kiss.

    All happened as it was supposed to.

    Yep.

    I knew that but I thought it was Stephen who was crucified upside-down.

    No, Stephen was stoned to death...and not by smoking weed or heavy
    drinking. :P

    For that matter, get a concrete block, and do the same thing. <G>

    That's heavier to move around.

    No pain, no gain. <G>

    A Canadiamn comedy music group, The Arrogant Worms, wrote a new anthem
    for Canadam, called "Canada's Really Big" including the lyric: "It's
    not what you do with it; it's the size that counts"

    They have a point.
