The irony? "Nimoy" is Russian for "Stupid" or "Idiot". I've always wanted to ask Leonard what he thought about that :-) OM -- ]=====================================[ ] OMBlog - http://www.io.com/~o_m/omworld [ ] Let's face it: Sometimes you *need* [ ] an obnoxious opinion in your day!

Henry Spencer wrote: Not the best of examples :-), since last I heard, there is thought to be little or no medical justification for infant circumcision. In Britain, one interesting side effect of the advent of National Health was that when doctors ceased having a financial interest in circumcision, quite suddenly it went from being nearly universal to being done only when the parents insisted for religious reasons. I always thought that the way our kids come into the world prepares them for the life ahead; first they get swatted on the ass so they will start yelling, then it's time for the sexual mutilation to begin. Welcome to the U.S. :-) I don't know who the doctor was who did mine, but he must have been ancient, as he equipped me with a Edwardian era loop of skin so I can tie my penis down to my leg to prevent it from showing. I've never done that, but I'll bet it made running well-nigh impossible. :-D Pat |

Q: Did you hear the one about the Rabbi who wouldn't take money for the Bris he performed? A: He only took tips. I like the one about the rabbi who saved them up, and had them knitted into a wallet. That way, he could just rub it, and have a suitcase. |
