Do Not Create False Drive Thrus

A recent survey showed that more Americans can accurately list the ingredients in a Big Mac than recall the ten commandments.

In a study of 1000 people, 80% correctly identified the seven elements of the Big Mac; less than 60% remembered 'thou shalt not kill'. Read more...

The survey was completed at the request of the producers of the animated movie The Ten Commandments (Oct. 19).

Kelton Research also found that "survey participants had an easier time remembering the names of the six children on the old TV series 'The Brady Bunch.' "

Imagine how much more dismal the results might have been if Moses hadn't dropped a tablet, reducing the commandments from 15 to ten!

This is eerie. Just today my man and I were discussing the idea of dial a confession. We're thinking a 1900 number where If thou has coveted thy neighbour's wife or ox, press 9, and so on and so forth.

He got out a copy of St. James' Version and was very upset to learn that:
Thou shall not touch my stuff

or

Thou shall not ever attempt to organize me

weren't listed. I told him that because we were baptised in a different faith than him, that our bible had different commandments.

I don't think he fell for it.

After having read your blog tho, I've thought of another one:

Thou shalt not consume any fast food item that has fallen between the seats of the car that continues to retain its original shape, colour, or (I'm assuming ) taste when found six weeks after its original purchase date.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese....

Not eating food that has fallen between the seats.... retains its original color,texture, etc....

is just plain old common sense...and definitely not worth going to hell over. No matter how hungry you are, or how fresh the food looks!
