How Far Down the Slope?

A Metaphor for our times. Irony.

 An elderly Catholic Nun is frisked by a Muslim security agent.


That's how far.

 Mind you, the Nun is armed - she has Rosary beads, with a full clip of 66 rounds.

 Drink deep.

      The creed
      Our Father
      3x Hail Mary
      Glory Be.

      That's six. Then.. The Rosary proper

      5x the following ....
      Our Father
      10x Hail Mary
      Glory be
      Oh My Jesus
      That's 5 x 13 = 65
      +
      Hail Holy Queen = 66

      Add the pre-Rosary Prayers makes 72.

      (Always have some spare rounds in your pocket.)

    And 2 x 72 leads to another special number :-)

    Unfortunately that link is to a rolling FB page. Is this what you meant? http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2016/06/rowan-dean-in-fine-fighting-form-with-a-ball-tearer-column-on-the-wanker-of-the-year-.html

Our Bouncer is a gentleman of muscle and guile. His patience has limits. He will check you at the door.

The Tavern gets rowdy visitors from time to time. Some are brain dead and some soul dead. They attack customers and the bar staff and piss on the carpets. Those people will not be allowed in anymore. So... Be Nice..
