I quit!

That's it! No more blogging for me. In fact, I've had it with technology altogether. I'm going to quit my job, and aim for employment collecting golf balls at a driving range.

And I think I'll stop eating ice cream and pizza while I'm at it.

And any more Hershey's candy that my parents bring directly from the factory store.

And I'm going to sell my guitar and my volleyball on eBay.

Alright, I couldn't think of anything really clever to post on this April Fool's Day. Perhaps this will redeem the time for you:

Have you heard about this case? In Florida, an atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and declared, "Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said, "Your Honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah. Yet my client and all the other atheists have no such holiday!"

The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, "Obviously your client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate his own atheists' holiday!"

The lawyer pompously said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might this holiday be, your Honor?"

The judge said, "Well it comes every year on exactly the same date--April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st as 'April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!"

phew. I'm glad you aren't off pizza all together. We'd have to stage an intervention or something.

And I liked your 'fools day' story.

Thought you were serious until I read about the Hershey. There is not a soul on earth that would get so fed up that they would give up Hershey Candy. I was scared for you.

At least that was a LITTLE better than Ryan Seacrest's attempt at an April Fool's Day joke .......

Wow! Better than Ryan Seacrest?!?! And I don't even have his faint New York/New England accent...?

Thanks!
